Ask the Pastor with J.D. Greear

Greatest Hits: Can You Lose Your Salvation?

Listen Later

This summer we are looking at some of the most popular Ask the Pastor episodes over the years. This week, Pastor J.D. answers the question of whether or not you can lose your salvation.

Show Notes:

  • At first glance, Hebrews 6 seems to say that not only can you lose your salvation, but once you do, you can never get it back! So what does it mean?
  • This is important: I believe the writer of Hebrews is giving a general, pastoral warning to his congregation rather than attempting to delineate how the processes of regeneration, justification and eternal security work together.
  • So, the warning here is a statement to believers and unbelievers alike about the importance of the gospel. Hopefully, it will rouse unbelievers out of their slumber. To the believer, we know that God will use it to keep his believers tethered closely to the gospel. Warnings like this one are one of God’s means of keeping believers awake to the gospel.
  • If you persevere to the end, that proves you had the salvation you could never lose. If you don’t, it proves you never had that faith to begin with.

    • As always, don’t forget to rate and review this podcast!
