Can a Christian lose salvation? | GotQuestions.org

Can a Christian lose salvation? Is there any way that salvation can be lost? Once I am saved, is that salvation assured and secured?

Best part of the article, in my opinion.

A Christian is guaranteed glorification. “Those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified” (Romans 8:30). According to Romans 5:1, justification is ours at the moment of faith. According to Romans 8:30, glorification comes with justification. All those whom God justifies are promised to be glorified. This promise will be fulfilled when Christians receive their perfect resurrection bodies in heaven. If a Christian can lose salvation, then Romans 8:30 is in error, because God could not guarantee glorification for all those whom He predestines, calls, and justifies.
 
"Can a Christian lose salvation" is the same as asking whether God can lose a Christian.

He bought his church at the cost of his Son. Is he going to sell them back?
 
I liked this article because the most sophisticated response I ever came up with is: " If you didn't do anything to earn your salvation, how can you do anything to un-earn it?

Good comprehensive reasoning in the article.

I appreciate that the author bases his argument primarily on God's promises. If we can't rely upon God to finish the work of salvation that he started, then how do we regard him as trustworthy at all?
