Salvation: A Continuous Process!
Philippians 2:12 – Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Is salvation a one-time thing? Can salvation be lost after gained? The answers to the questions is NO and YES. Salvation is not a one-time thing and salvation can be lost after it has been gained.
How was salvation gained? It was through our believing. When we confessed and believed that was when we became saved. Since we were saved through our belief in the works of Christ Jesus and in Jesus Christ then we can become unsaved at the point we start disbelieving in both Jesus Christ and in His works. Hence salvation [which means to be saved] can be lost.
Salvation is not a one-time thing. Yes! at the point of believing, salvation was obtained but the obtained salvation needs to be retained through our continuous believe and obedience. That is what Apostle Paul made clear in the above scripture.
Beloved, don’t be deceived by the motivational preachers and those that tailor the bible to suit their purpose. Continue in your belief and obedience so that your salvation will be sure. Shalom!
