Are you saved?

Can you lose salvation? What does scripture say about salvation!

First, what is salvation and how are you saved? Saved = salvation.

“To be saved” in a Spiritual sense means, to be saved from sin. The only way to be saved from sin is to have the indwelling of Yahusha (Jesus) who gives us the power to overcome sin through the Holy Spirit. That is the secret of overcoming sin, to endure to the end, for only those who endure to the end shall be saved in the day of judgment.

 

Ezekiel 3:20, "And when a righteous one (saved one) turns from his righteousness and shall do unrighteousness (sin), when I (Yahuah) have a stumbling-block (trial) before him, he shall die (not be saved).

Yahuah also says further on in verse 20 and 21 that a saved believer must warn a fellow believer of his/her wrong doing as we must look after each other, to prevent us from falling away.

This is why it's so important to fellowship and have friends who are true believers who are like minded in their walk.

Yahuah says further in Ezekiel 18:24, "But when a righteous one (saved one) turns away from his righteousness (obedience) and does unrighteousness (sin), according to all the abominations that the wrong one has done, shall he live (shall he be saved)? All his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered. For his trespass which he has committed, for them he shall die (loose salvation).

This scripture is a good example why good works alone cannot earn deliverance (salvation), as a good deed cannot equal a bad deed (sin).

To turn away from Yahuah once you have accepted and walking His ways is considered treason even if one has done many good deeds.

Loyalty is an extreme per-requisite to enter the Kingdom. "Not everyone who says to Me (Yahusha), 'Lord, Lord (Master, Master),' shall enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens - Matthew 7:21.

It is so important for a true believer to stay in Yahuah's word daily and pray for Yahusha to search his/her heart daily for uncleanness. So important!

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened (received deliverance), and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Set-apart Spirit (Holy Spirit), and have tasted the good Word of Elohim and the powers of the age to come, and fall away (turn away from Elohim), to renew them again to repentance - having crucified for themselves the Son of Elohim (Yahusha) again, and put Him to open shame - Hebrews 6:4-6.

You cannot repent over and over again because Yahusha was crucified only once, therefore if you keep on sinning after receiving salvation, you are mocking His crucifixion and bringing Yahusha to nothing.

If one has received the Holy Spirit and his/her mind knows the truth and that one willingly turns back on it and continue to sin, then that person would be so hardened by the sin that he/she would never repent and therefore go to the lake of fire.

Hebrews 10:26-31, For if we sin purposely (over and over) after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a slaughter offering for sins, but some fearsome anticipation of judgement, and a fierce fire which is about to consume the opponents.

Yahusha was our slaughter offering for our sins, ONCE and for ALL. We cannot offer Yahusha over and over for our sins, He has done it once for us.

Hebrews 10:29, How much worse punishment do you think shall he deserve who has trampled the Son of Elohim (Yahusha) underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was set apart as common, and insulted the Spirit of favour?

It is very clear in these verses that when a person has received deliverance (salvation) from the blood offering of Yahusha, that one cannot turn back purposely to his/her previous sinful life and then later on decide to come back to Yahusha.

This type of sinning is in contrast with sinning ignorantly - Hebrews 9:7 But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for sins of ignorance (mistake) of the people (see also Numbers 15:15-28).
