Can you lose your salvation?
Christians hold different views, but the New Testament gives strong assurance that God keeps those who truly trust in Christ. Salvation rests on God’s faithfulness and Christ’s finished work, not on our ability to hold on.
Scripture offers deep assurance: Jesus says no one can snatch his sheep from his hand (John 10:28), and Paul is confident that nothing can separate believers from God’s love (Romans 8:38–39).
Because salvation is God’s gift and his work, the believer’s security ultimately rests on him, not on our performance. At the same time, the Bible warns against falling away and calls us to keep trusting and following Christ.
Sincere Christians differ on how to hold these truths together, but all agree on the practical call: keep trusting Jesus, and rest in the One who is able to keep you.
