What must we do to be saved? Simply trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and in His resurrection on the third day. Since we can't do anything to be saved because Jesus did it all, we cannot lose our salvation ever. In John 10 Jesus said no one can snatch His people out of His hand. We cannot be taken out of His hand. He keeps us saved. We do not keep ourselves in Him. He keeps us in Him. The just shall live by faith. We live by the same faith that saves us. Do we get off track for periods of our life? Of course but he disciplines us as a loving Father. He doesn't leave us but purifies us through hardship.
Someone will say but what about our sin. Doesn't our sin cause Him to cast us out. No! He said He will never leave us nor forsake us. Our sin has already been taken away by His death on the cross. There is no more penalty for sin once we are in Jesus. Our sin has been removed from God's eyes forever. This means even sins we haven't committed yet are forgiven already. Our sins cannot remove from Christ and His love and salvation because our sins have been not only forgiven but also taken away forever. God said he will remember them no more.
Do not make God a liar. Believe what He says. If He says your sins are taken in Jesus then they are are, Col. 2:13 and heb. 10:14-17. If He says he will remember them no more then He will do just that, Heb. 10:17. Stop trying to stay forgiven. You already are forgiven. Rest in Jesus and His secure love.
Praise and thank him for His unending love and mercy.
