“I assure you: Anyone who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has
passed from death to life.” John 5:24

There is a theological term called “eternal security.”

What this five-dollar phrase means is that once you are saved, you are always saved; you can never lose your salvation.

How can we be so certain of this?

Because salvation comes by the grace of God, not by your deeds or actions, you cannot be nice enough, help enough people, or give enough money to earn your way into heaven. And since there is nothing you can do to gain salvation, there is nothing you can do to lose it.

Once saved, always saved.

So, can you lose your salvation?

Nope!

Now you might wonder: Does that mean you can live however you want without worrying about heaven? In a literal sense, yes. But if you truly accepted Christ, you wouldn’t want to use that as an excuse. Gratitude for what Jesus has done will shape how you live. You’ll want to please Him, not take advantage of His grace.

Maybe some of you are wondering if you were really saved years ago. Maybe it felt rushed, emotional, or uncertain. If you’re unsure, you can always ask Him—right now—to save you for sure.

Read Revelation 3:20 and 1 John 5:11–13. Believe God’s words, and you can know with confidence that you have eternal life.
