Bible Question

Is Once Saved, Always Saved Supported By The Bible?

Answer

Yes, once saved always saved is a biblical truth because of verses like John 10:27-30 that says “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.

This question often comes up because many Christians may not fully grasp three essential truths:

We are more than just sinners in need of forgiveness; we are born spiritually dead and in need of life.

Adam was created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27).
Adam was alive both physically and spiritually (Genesis 2:7).
God commanded Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:16-17).
Adam disobeyed, causing the Spirit of God to leave him and bringing condemnation upon all humanity. (Romans 5:15-20).
Adam lived a total of 930 years. (Genesis 5:3-4).
Therefore, we are born in the image of Adam, spiritually dead and in need of life (Genesis 5:3; Romans 5:12; 1 Corinthians 15:22, 15:49; Ephesians 2:1).

God’s solution to humanity’s problem is His offer ofnew life through the resurrected life of Jesus Christ.

Jesus came not only to take away our sins but, more importantly, to give us life! (John 10:10).
We are saved by His life (Romans 5:10; Ephesians 2:4-5; Colossians 2:13).
We will live eternally and forever (John 3:14-16, 3:36, 11:25-26, 20:31).
That is why the Apostle Paul said, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9).

Once the Holy Spirit comes to live within you, God will never leave you.

We are sealed with the Spirit (Ephesians 1:13).
For God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable (Romans 11:20)
God will never leave you (Hebrews 13:5).
Why is impossible for Jesus to ever leave you? Because Jesus took away all your sins (2 Corinthians 5:18-21; Hebrews 9:22, 9:28, Hebrews 10:1-18; 1 John 2:2). We call this divine logic!
