Once Saved Always Saved. John 10:27-29 It teaches a truth that many never grasp and that truth is this: If you are a believer, you have eternal security with the Lord Jesus Christ. The greatest blessing in life is knowing that you are eternally saved. Before we discuss why the believer is eternally secure, we all need to be on the same page. We need to define our terms. Just who is a believer? A believer is one who has received Jesus into his heart, as Savior, by faith. A believer is trusting Jesus Christ, totally, for salvation. This person is born again, John 3:3, and has been made a partaker of the Divine nature, 2 Pet. 1:4. This person can never be lost again! But, what about those who appeared to be saved, but now have no interest in spiritual things? I would answer that they have never truly been saved! They used to attend church, they may have been baptized, they may have made a public profession of faith, they may have looked Christian, but now they are out in the world. Jesus spoke of just this type, Matt. 7:22-23. The Good Shepherd has made it His mission that we all arrive home safely!
