 Be really careful, don't lose your salvation. But wait a minute, if I could lose my salvation, I would. It was God who brought me out of spiritual death into spiritual life. I was dead in my trespasses and sins, and God made me alive to him. The Holy Spirit is inside of me. My heart of stone has been transformed into a heart of flesh. I was a child of wrath, rebelling against God, but now I am saved and I'm a child of God. Why would I be so boastful to assume that I can reverse what God has done in me? Yes, the Bible says to examine yourself to see if you are in the faith. Are you bearing fruit in keeping with repentance? But don't for a second think that it is by your faithfulness that you're saved. It is by God's grace alone that you remain in his family. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of your own doing. It is a gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
