Home Essay Series can a Christian lose salvation
This complete ten-essay series answers the question, “Can a Christian lose his salvation?” by examining the warning passages most frequently used against eternal security. Grounded exclusively in the King James Bible, the studies address enduring unto the end, “I never knew you,” the unpardonable sin, falling away in Hebrews 6, wilful sin in Hebrews 10, falling from grace, branches cast into the fire, becoming a castaway, and names blotted from the book of life. Each passage is restored to its biblical, historical, dispensational, and doctrinal setting, with careful distinctions between Israel and the Church, law and grace, salvation and discipleship, union and communion, sonship and service, chastening and condemnation, physical judgment and eternal judgment, and righteousness and reward. Readers will understand why eternal security rests upon Christ’s finished work, shed blood, promises, intercession, and the Holy Spirit’s seal—while also recognizing the serious consequences a believer can suffer through carnality, disobedience, barrenness, and wasted service.
