Does the Bible say anything about our salvation being a once and for all situation? So many of the things the Bible says people go to hell for, can be found still unresolved in one’s own life. This contradicts what we were told when we were converted to Christ! The underlying paradox is the source of our uncertainty.
What does scripture say about the certainty of salvation and going to heaven? God’s Word to the Nations Translation reads, “But now Christ has brought you back to God by dying in his physical body. He did this so that you could come into God’s presence without sin, fault, or blame.” (Colossians 1:22)
“This is on the condition that you continue in faith without being moved from the solid foundation of the hope that the Good News contains.” (Colossians 1:23) That does have an ominous sound to it and at first read or glance, can cause uncertainty in the heart and mind of a believer.
If this is all you read, it creates a very ominous view of our salvation being doubtful and uncertain. Many Pastors, Preachers and Teachers tend to use scare tactics in their messages to scare the listener! Some do this deliberately out of will-full intent and others out of ignorance. All this means, plain and simple, it is our choice to be saved.
Verse 23, in Colossians 1, tells us what we need to do to live the Christian life with!, certainty!
A very thought is seen by God as faith. Look at Matthew 9:21 again! It says, “She thought…”. Her faith was only a mere thought of touching the clothes of Christ and she would be healed. Brothers and Sisters!, faith, belief, faith believing is really that simple if it is coupled with action to carryout that thought.
