I have been studying salvation for the past few weeks....
Christians will be saved once they accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
-Yes. The moment that they have accepted Christ as their Lord and Saviour, they are saved. Remember the thief that was also crucified with Jesus who believed. Luke 23:42-43
And Salvation will NOT be gone even though they commit some sins whether intentional or
not intentional. Like 'Once Saved, Always Saved' belief.
For me kasi, nawawala ang salvation kapag gumawa ang isang Kristiano ng kasalanan.
Some say, we have been saved by Grace not by works.
-Once you are saved, this does not mean that you can sin all you can and can go to heaven regardless of what you do. Remember that man has a sinful nature and he will always stumble and sin. The difference between a Christian sinning is that when he sins, he acknowledges/recognizes and repents against that sin right away and confesses to the Lord. You have a personal relationship with the Lord, a very strong one which is strengthened by daily Bible readings and prayers. As a result, your works and words will reflect that relationship with God. So it is not being saved by good works but be saved first and doing good works as a manifestation of your relationship with God.
All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.--Isiah 64:6
Grace is the free and unmerited favor of God. Grace means that it is freely given to you even if you do not deserve it. All you have to do is just accept his gift of salvation and live the Christian life.
In Revelation kasi, even though the names are already written in the Book of Life,
God can still blot them out. So it means, nawawala talaga ang salvation. Tama ba?
-God knows everything and your future. So what is written in the Book of Life is absolute because God will know your decisions in your life before you make them and the result of your decisions.
Being a Christian is a way of Life. Enjoy it!
