Part 1
By Jacob Prasch
Foreword:
Jacob Prasch - Once Saved Always Saved Part 1 & 2 detailed study as to what Scripture has to say about the doctrine which is often described by the label, "Once Saved, Always Saved."
Commentary and Reference Scripture (KJV):
21Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the Will of My Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:21.
ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED.
That is the cry so often heard from many Christians today.
Can we lose it?
Many people believe the above teachings today, but are they true?
Once we have accepted Jesus as our personal Saviour, is our Salvation guaranteed or impossible to lose? Is there no risk of ever losing it? Can we walk away from God at any time and go on living like the world, in open, rebellious sin and still be Saved?
Let's see what the Bible says.
Most people who believe the above teaching, ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED will quote the following Bible verse as proof:
"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the Love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38, 39.
Now this is a wonderful Bible Promise that God has given us and it should inspire us all. But does it say once a person is Born Again, it is impossible for him to lose his way and be lost? In fact, is this verse talking about Salvation or Eternal Life at all?
No, this verse is clearly talking about God's unconditional Love towards man, not unconditional Salvation. Salvation is conditional! You might also notice that the word "sin" was not included in the list of things which are unable to separate us from the Love of God.
If we continue in sin, after we have asked Jesus to be our personal Saviour, are we really in a Saved relationship, are we converted?
"For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the Truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins."
Hebrews 10:26.
What was the very first lie recorded in the Bible?
It was the devil, speaking through the serpent when he was talking to Eve.
"And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:" Genesis 3:4.
The devil has been deceiving people ever since with this lie.
"Once Saved Always Saved", is another lie from Satan and people have been believing it for years and will be sadly surprised in the Judgment...
The only one who promised Adam life in disobedience was the great deceiver. And the declaration of the serpent to Eve in Eden--
"Ye shall not surely die"--
was the first sermon ever preached upon the immortality of the soul.
Yet this declaration, resting solely upon the authority of Satan, is echoed from the pulpits of Christendom and is received by the majority of mankind as readily as it was received by our first parents.
The divine sentence,
"The soul that sinneth, it shall die"
Ezekiel 18:20, is made to mean:
The soul that sinneth, it shall not die, but live eternally.
We cannot but wonder at the strange infatuation which renders men so credulous concerning the words of Satan and so unbelieving in regard to the Words of God.
