How Can I not lose salvation? Is Faith in Christ enough to be saved? Look: "Faith Without Works is Dead" (James 2:14-26). I take an example: Somebody believes in Christ. He says:"I'm saved. I'm crucified with Christ". But daily: he spit in the face of people, he hit other people, he's watching pornography, his is cheating his wife, he hit his children,...and such a person should be saved, just because he goes to church, he read the bible and "believe" in Christ?You see how ridiculous that is.

@lessthandust Hello there. Yes, I sure agree with you. If we are to inherit eternal life then we must walk as Jesus did as it says in 1 John 2:6. God bless, Mick

There's no automatically forgiveness. We have first to confess and to repent so that Jesus can forgive us. We can not find, have salvation by good doings, only by his mercy, true! but we can lose it by bad doings.

1 John 1:

8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.

Sure, nobody can try to work out the salvation of others. It's impossible. You can just pray for others or tell people about Christ.

We have been crucified with Christ. Yes! And? That doesn't mean that I can say: "I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." To can say that, my own will have first to die for the will of God.

I sometimes very shocked when I see that some people put themselves on the same spiritual level like Saint Paul.

@386ABC

you can not claim something what is not written. If Jesus would mean the earthly Kingdom, he had said that. You make the difference by your own will. Look, he says: "I never knew you. Away from me..." !!! And: Philippians 2:12: "continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling" And how to love Jesus? See: John 14;15: "If you love me, keep my commands." That's the true teaching of the holy orthodox church.

Furthermore, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evil-doers (literally means you who practice lawlessness)!’” (Matthew 7:21-23).

@386ABC Please make sure that you are not in sin when the Lord returns otherwise you will be finished also. God bless, Mick
