Can a Christian lose salvation?

 Can a Christian lose salvation?   A “Christian” is no longer a individual who has stated a prayer or walked down an aisle or been raised in a Christian family. While every of these matters can be a section of the Christian experience, they are no longer what makes a Christian. A Christian is a individual who has totally depended on in Jesus Christ as the solely Savior and consequently possesses the Holy Spirit (John 3:16; Acts 16:31; Ephesians 2:8–9). So, with this definition in mind, can a Christian lose salvation? It’s a crucially necessary question. Perhaps the quality way to reply it is to observe what the Bible says happens at salvation and to find out about what dropping salvation would entail: A Christian is a new creation. “Therefore, if each person is in Christ, he is a new creation; the historic has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). A Christian is no longer truly an “improved” model of a person; a Christian is an completely new creature. He is “in Christ.” For a

Finish line ought to be the focal point

Finish line ought to be the focal point The analogy of evaluating “athletic completion” to “Christian living” is a theme frequently repeated in scripture. Summary: Oftentimes, when we see the street ahead getting rough, we favor to provide up and quit. God in no way promised us a road of roses, but he did promise us a way to victory. When we are advised that we should finish the race, we get excited and push harder. However, when the avenue gets rough, we lose encouragement. We see the potholes and the winding avenue and favor to give up. I can relate. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 shouts it plain and clear. When we come to the know-how of God, we are right now put into a race. At first, the race appears easy. Things are going great. Everything is going splendidly for us. Then, tragedy strikes. The street gets bumpy and we lose some faith. We think God has abandoned us and we slip returned a little. 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 says this: "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but o

Sound Financial Advice

Throughout the Bible, Jesus talks about sowing seed of belief in finances. Give anything little you have as that little boy in  the Bible came with 5 loaves and two fishes and gave it Jesus, and it used to be increased and fed to extra than 5000 guys alone. Sound economic advice   ‘The sensible have wealth…but fools spend something they get.’ Proverbs 21:20 It’s silly to purchase matters you don’t want and can’t afford, mainly when your payments are late and you’ve nothing set apart for the future. Your monetary protection is decided via what you owe, no longer with the aid of what you earn! Having to work for years to repay debt severely limits your options. So, decide your life-style via your real income, no longer by way of what you desire it was once or hope it will be. And when you get a raise, don’t mechanically spend more. The Bible says, ‘There is…treasure…in the living of the wise, however a silly man squanders it’ (Proverbs 21:20). One of the wisest matters you can do nowaday

God Speaks to us in different ways.

  God Speaks to us in different ways.   God doesn’t communicate anymore that’s what Skeptics say. Even some Christians declare God solely speaks thru the Bible.   Really? Did God get laryngitis and lose His voice? Did God change? Did God end being God?    Malachi 3:6 (NKJV) affirms, “For I am the Lord, I do not change.” That means if God saved in Bible times, He still saves today. If He healed then, He nevertheless heals now. If He spoke to people in the past, He still does. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Heb. 13:8). The question is not, is God still speaking? The query is, are we listening? Jesus implored all seven churches of Asia, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Rev. 2:7). Consider 12 approaches God nevertheless speaks today:   • Audible Voice: Though reputedly rare, God has and nevertheless can talk audibly. Adam and Eve heard God’s voice in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:8). God spoke audibly to Moses from the burnin

Put God to the test and see what happens!

‘Bring the complete tithe…Test me in this.’ Malachi 3:10  God is a meticulous planner. For example, He scheduled a dinner party known as ‘the marriage supper of the Lamb’ two thousand years in enhance (see Revelation 19:9). He advised Noah to construct the ark ‘450 toes long, seventy five toes wide, and forty five toes high’ (Genesis 6:15). He gave Moses the precise shades and fabric He desired used in setting up the tabernacle (see Exodus 26). And appear how exactly He orders the seasons and positions the stars. Can you think about such a God having no layout for your budget – the product of your work life?   Surely not! In Scripture He says: ‘Bring the entire tithe into the storehouse…Test me in this…see if I will not…open…heaven and pour out so a lot blessing…there will now not be room sufficient to keep it.’ The unique phrase for ‘whole’ is ‘unbroken’; that potential earlier than taxes and different deductions. Why? Because He wishes to be first in your existence in the whole lot –

After death what happens

Within the Christian faith, there is a significant amount of confusion regarding what happens after death. Some hold that after death, everyone “sleeps” until the final judgment, after which everyone will be sent to heaven or hell. Others believe that at the moment of death, people are instantly judged and sent to their eternal destinations. Still others claim that when people die, their souls/spirits are sent to a “temporary” heaven or hell, to await the final resurrection, the final judgment, and then the finality of their eternal destination. So, what exactly does the Bible say happens after death? First, for the believer in Jesus Christ, the Bible tells us that after death believers’ souls/spirits are taken to heaven, because their sins are forgiven by having received Christ as Savior (John 3:16, 18, 36). For believers, death is to be “away from the body and at home with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23). However, passages such as 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 and 1 Thess

Release Yourself from Bitterness

Never be Mastered by your Moods but do what the word of GOD's says.... ‘Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger.’ Ephesians 4:31 Anger is often the product of frustrated expectations. We expect something, and when we don’t get it we end up disappointed and angry. And our anger leads to a dysfunctional personal, spiritual and relational lifestyle. Frustrated expectations are often rooted in early experiences with our parents, siblings and authority figures. Perhaps our needs for love, acceptance, security and significance were never met; then later we experienced broken commitments in marriage, business and friendships. Ultimately, smouldering anger becomes a weapon in our arsenal, threatening to hurt everything and everybody we care about. We become bitter people—avoided, excluded and lonely. God instructs us to ‘get rid of all bitterness’, so that ‘no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many’ (Hebrews 12:15 NIV). How do we obey His command? 1) By accepting and actin

THINGS YOU’VE NOT SEEN OR HEARD

We usually limit ourselves by our thoughts, so this time try submitting your thoughts to JESUS and will see an incredible result!!... Wanna Try...go ahead!! Jeremiah 33:3   Is anything too hard for God? It can be easy to answer ‘no,’ in your mind, but try to let your whole being engage with your answer. It’s not just what you think and say, but what you do, that will prove what you believe.   When God decided that Moses would lead the children of Israel out of Egypt, Moses never questioned God’s ability, he just questioned whether God could do it through him. What was God’s answer when Moses complained that he wasn’t an articulate speaker? ‘Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say’ (Exodus 4:12 NIV). There’s far more He wants to do through you than what you’ve already experienced. Your future can be bigger – so much bigger.    The problem is, we get attached to methods which worked in the past and keep going back to them. But by always looking to the familiar, you l

You’re called to a ‘special work

You are important!!! Your life means something to other person, Try to recognize. They need your support and love.  ‘Each part…helps the other parts grow.’ Ephesians 4:16 Paul writes: ‘As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body [church] is healthy and growing and full of love.’ There are two kinds of growth –  symbiotic growth parasitic growth.  Symbiotic growth is a give-and-take relationship in which both sides benefit.  Parasitic growth is when one side feeds off another but gives nothing back.  So when you come out of church and say, ‘I didn’t get anything out of that service,’ you may be practising parasitic growth. Parasitic growth is characterised by such words as ‘pray for me, preach to me, counsel me, help me, but expect nothing from me’. Symbiotic growth is characterised by such words as ‘yes, I have needs, but I’m willing to give, too, because everyone needs to benefit’, Your body is made up of systems. These include the ner
