Hello my steemian brothers and welcome to another Bible Q&A,
Can a Christian lose their salvation? That debate has been going on for centuries. Many think that a Christian can abandon his faith and fall from Grace, while the others think a true Christian can never deny his believes and will eventually be saved, no matter what.
The following verse of the Bible seems to support the first idea. Hebrew 6:4 says:
“It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss, they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.”
That verse sounds a lot like a description of someone losing his salvation.
Much people say that verse proves someone can be saved and get away from God, but it describes people in the time of Jesus that were “enlightened”, have been partakers of, tasted the goodness of God, fallen away and cannot be renewed again to repentance.
If it means you can lose your salvation, it also teaches that you can never get it back. Of course, That´s not what it teaches.
The verse doesn’t really use any word connected to salvation. It never mentions words like born again, justified, regenerated or sanctified. It is talking about people that had all the revelation that could be given them and they rejected it.
On the other hand, there are many verses that support you can never lose your salvation, like Romans 8:30 for instance:
“And the ones who he predestined, he called, and the ones he called, he justified, and the ones who he justified, he glorified.”
What do you believe? Can we lose our salvation or not? Please comment.
