Key Text: Galatians 5:4
1.
Galatians 5:4. The question is: Can a
person who has received salvation and
God’s gift of eternal life fall from
grace and be lost? Paul says clearly that it
is possible. A person may fall from grace.
2.
Hebrews 3:8-15. Having once known
God’s truth does not prevent a person
from hardening his or her heart against it
and rebelling against God.
3.
Hebrews 6:4-6. Once a person
backslides by persistently rejecting God, it
is difficult-almost impossible-to regain a
saved relationship with Him.
4.
Hebrews 12:15. The Bible clearly warns
that we can “fall short of the grace of
God.”
5.
2 Peter 2:20,21. The bible says that it
is better for a person never to have known
the way of righteousness than to go back to a
life of slavery to sin after having known
Christ.
6.
Ezekiel 18:24,26. When a righteous person
falls from grace, none of his or her former
righteousness and obedience is taken into
account. Apart from grace, he or she will die
for the sins committed.
7.
1 John 2:3,4. If a person claims to
be saved by grace and yet ignores the law and
his need to be obedient to God’s will,
he is a “liar” and has no truth in
him.
Romans 6:1,2.
8.
Hosea 14:4. God wants to heal our
backsliding. If we repent, He will always
forgive. Yes, a person can fall from grace by
repeatedly disobeying God or deliberately
turning away from Him. However, God will
always accept sincere repentance-and forgive.
AS-End.
