Christian

Once Saved

Why do so many people think to be saved all they have to do is accept Jesus as their savior. As if continuing in Christianity required no effort on their part. While Jesus, himself said follow me, my yoke is easy and my burden light. He never said it was non-existent, that you didn’t have to do anything as a Christian.

In fact, Jesus said if you love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15) and go forth and teach those commandments. Matthew 28:19-20 KJV says, Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

If you think salvation is only accepting Jesus you’re only getting half the Gospel. The other half is that you can lose your salvation even after baptism by continuing in sin.

Quit comparing yourself to the thief nailed on the cross next to Jesus, like you are unable to do anything. 

Quit confusing not sinning with good works.

While our righteousnesses may be as filthy rags, that is no excuse to not do good. God must value and have use of filthy rags.

Once saved, always saved is simply erroneous doctrine and it won’t lead anyone to Heaven.
