Once Saved Always Saved is a LIE that people like to believe because it gives them FALSE
SECURITY. Many people say a SINNERS PRAYER and they promise Jesus that they will follow
and obey Him for the rest of their lives and then they believe they are saved but they
never follow Him and they never obey Him, they turn away from Him, because they believe
that they are saved. Nobody is SAVED until the very end. Jesus
said:”he who endures until the END will be saved.” If we keep on following Jesus
and we keep on obeying Him until the very end of our lives then we will be saved. Someone
asked Jesus whether those who are BEING SAVED are FEW and He said:”Strive HARD to enter
the narrow door because many, I tell you, will try and not be able.” Very few people
will endure until the end. Very few people will follow Jesus Christ. We have to follow
Jesus UNTIL THE END. Jesus said that whoever puts his hand to the
plow and looks back is not worthy of Him. If we start following Jesus and we long to
go back to our previous life of self-satisfaction, of self-service and sin, if we love the things
of the world , then we are not worthy of Jesus and we will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
There is not such thing as ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED. That is a LIE! Many people make marriage
vows and they say:”Until death do us part.” But very few of those people nowadays stay
together until the end. If we do not follow Jesus and stay with Him until the end then
we will not be with Him for eternity. Our salvation depends on our relationship
with Jesus. The day we meet Him that relationship starts and the quality of that relationship
will determine whether we will be with Him for eternity. If we have not come to know
Jesus INTIMATELY because we have not CLOSELY FOLLOWED Him then He will say to us:”Go
away I never KNEW you, you worker of wickedness.” We can only KNOW Jesus when we WALK WITH HIM
every day and STAY WITH HIM UNTIL THE VERY END.
Jesus will never leave us nor will He forsake us because He is FAITHFUL but if we leave
Him, if we deny Him and turn away from Him He will not hold us back, He will let us go
but when we come to the end of our lives and we stand before Him He will say to us:”Go
away I never knew you, you worker of wickedness.” We have to ENDURE and STAY WITH Jesus until
the very end. When we stand before His judgment throne the
books will be opened and we will be judged by what is written inside of those books.
What will OUR BOOK look like? What will our book say about our relationship with Jesus?
Will our works testify of our relationship with Jesus, our love for Him and our OBEDIENCE
to Him, because we have ENDURED with Him until the very end?
May Jesus bless you.
