Can You Lose Your Salvation?

What does the Bible teach about losing your salvation?

We'll talk about it...

The notes, turns out, are too long to fit in the description, so I posted them up on the humbly named blog. You can find them here:

“Jesus is a better savior than you are a sinner” great stuff

[Theescapist_]

"Jesus is a better Savior than you are a sinner." As someone who keeps being drawn to God, but suffers from feeling like I'm not good enough to be saved or forgiven for some of my past sins. That statement meant a lot to me.

"Where did my salvation go? I just had it a minute ago." Lol. Great way to drive the point home ❤

[MrGyngve]

Hey pastor! Your law&gospel approach to this subject makes infinetly more sense than what I was served when I was a neo-calvinist! Thanks be to God for faithful men like you!

[uncleloof]

once your in, your in. God has you in a holy headlock...


haha!

Its like sitting in a physics class as a English major. Dumping out equations and theories everywhere. I skipped backward more than forward. A+++ presentation. Great content great presentation. Thank you for such a great presentation!!! Going to watch again

[trentrossdale]

Mind blown! Lately I have been struggling with this and you did an awesome job at not only explaining but giving me hope that I am secure. Thank you! God bless you!

Wow, I love that. 'You cannot out so the grace of God with your sins.' lord have mercy on me. Please keep you children safe in your salvation.

You can loose your salvation but only God can keep you in it. Awesome!!

Thank you for these videos pastor. My Calvinist friend and I debate a lot (usually about tulip). We both know we are in fellowship evangelically but it can get really tough sometimes. These videos are a source of reassurance for me that there are many that share my Lutheran worldview as well.

Wow, thank you! Glory be to God, He is definitely using you as an instrument of righteousness and His good works.

Totally not on topic....I was seriously bummed when WETV disappeared. Pr. Wolfmueller, you have kicked it into overdrive and have more than filled the hole. Thanks and Deo Gratias!

This had been wreaking me for about a year.
Thank you for clarifying. Your work is appreciated

Something occurred to me later, I think I watched this long, long ago.


Anyway, to "lose salvation" we always must remember it is possible. By so many ways. The one I was hammered with most recently was listening to Keith Green over again during Lent, in The Prodigal Son Suite.


The younger lost it. And regained it. The older was in danger of losing it.


But like you said, sir, at the end. He won't lose us. EVER. The father saw him from afar and had never ceased looking for him until he returned. God never stops pursuing us, never stops following us, trying to lead us back to Him, trying to save our souls (SOS).


Praise be to God.

Thanks, helpful. A 4th reason might be you're worried that a friend or child has lost their salvation.

[elainejan]

Thank you for always bringing the love of Christ to us.

I love this. I've been trying to explain this to people and I love how he so beautifully did. The only thing that I would describe differently is... It's a relationship. It is a living breathing relationship. Repentance takes us to the cross, and love and appreciation fills us to want to obey the laws of love, which is what the ten commandments are: Loving God with all our heart with all our soul with all our mind and with all our strength, and loving our neighbors ourself, and that's exactly what the ten commandments are all about. His yoke is easy and his burden is light.... And in our relationship with him we learn of Him. It truly is the narrow way. ❤️

Probably the best treatment of this question I have seen online. Thanks for the video!

The title is suggestive: when it is ‘your salvation’ it will always remain vulnerable.

[Outrider]

I prefer the term “willingly forfeit” to “lose.”
