How Satan infiltrates Christians.

How to take care of my salvation. How to walk in

holiness. How Satan infiltrates in the
Christians.
Jesus pointed out that to have eternal life it is necessary to believe in Him, in Jesus the Son.
For God, Jesus the Son of God is the only one who leads us to God the Father, also
I teach that to enter heaven it is necessary to be born again, which is the work of the
Holy Spirit of God (John 3:3).

But Jesus taught that in addition to those requirements, those who will enter heaven are the
they do the will of God the Father.

Jesus said:
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the
what does the will of my Father who is in heaven do” Matthew 7:21.

So, as Jesus points out, once a person believes in Him, and the Spirit
Saint makes the person be born again, be regenerated, be made new.
creature, then it is necessary to remain in obedience to God the Father, and not
sin more.

In this way, the salvation that God gives through Jesus, his Son, is safeguarded.
unique, of Jesus who is God himself made flesh and bone.

When the disciples told Jesus, here are your mother and brothers, Jesus
he/she replied:

For everyone who does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he

he is my brother and sister and mother" Matthew 12:50

Jesus said, 'If you love me, keep my commandments' John 14:15

The apostle Peter warns us to be holy and separate from evil when he says:
but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all
your way of living, because it is written: Be holy, for I am holy” 1st
2 Peter 1: 15 -16.

Let us remember that as the Bible says: -without holiness no one will see the Lord-
Hebrews 12:14

So there are practical ways for the born again Christian to

keep doing the will of God the Father, obeying his moral laws, and
abstaining from doing bad things, avoiding transgressing the moral laws of
God, and being careful not to fall into the traps of the devil that seek to distance you from God
and they seek to subtly and disguised deceive the Christian so that
he transgresses the laws of God and so he may even distance himself and separate from God, although
be little by little.

Some Christians say: 'they tell me to take care of my salvation, as we

the apostle Paul exhorts, but they don't tell me how to take care of it, how I can take care of it.

Pablo says that by being obedient, we should take care of our salvation to be
children of God without blemish (Philippians 2: 12–15).
It is necessary then, as it says in Hebrews, that we obey the
word of God, not to neglect so great a salvation (Hebrews 2:1–3) and
that Jesus is the author of salvation for those who obey him (Hebrews 5:9).

Obedience to the moral laws of God, in life

christian.
Practical ways to take care of my salvation.
The new life in Christ is above all, to repent from sin, to walk in a
new moral life according to the will of God, obeying God, even in
through difficulties and challenging situations. That is what true life is about.
Christian life is about imitating Christ by obeying God, it is not about
that from the moment you believe in Jesus, only beautiful things happen to you all the
time in the company of people who love you and treat you well all the time.

So below I list some practical things (some examples) for

that the born-again Christian remains in the will of God the Father,
obeying their moral laws, or to put it another way, taking care of their
salvation, walking in obedience to God.

This list shows some practical ways but is not limited to all of them.
practical ways to take care of salvation. They are practical ways to stay in
sanctity, obeying God, and avoiding sin, and avoiding falling
in the traps that the devil sets for Christians to distance themselves from God and
fall into sin.

The Christian forgives the offenses of others.

The Christian who wants to take care of his salvation obeys God, keeps his laws.
morals, and forgive your neighbor who offends you.

Let us remember that God does not forgive the Christian who does not forgive others their offenses.

But if you do not forgive men their offenses, neither will your Father
forgive your offenses” Matthew 6:14-15.

In the case of a brother in faith who sins against you, who is a genuine Christian.
born again, Jesus taught in a particular way, that you must reprimand, that
it is your moral obligation to a brother or sister in faith, and that if they
then repent so that you forgive him.
Look for yourselves, If your brother sins against you, rebuke him and if he
repent, forgive him" Luke 17:3

This does not mean that you hold a grudge against him or have ill wishes for him.
as long as he does not repent, but if your brother in faith sins against you, and does not
he acknowledges his sin, and you go and tell him I forgive you, most likely not.
Recognizing your sin, I did not value your words and action of forgiveness.

But if your brother in faith acknowledges his sin and repents for sinning against
God and against you, and asks you to forgive him, and you tell him that you forgive him, he could
value your forgiveness.

This concept is so important and crucial, but unfortunately it is not taught.

in most congregations.

Nowadays, in almost all congregations, people are invited to quickly

to do Jesus the favor of accepting him, without telling people that they have sinned against
God, in doing such and such a thing, and the people do not truly repent of their sin, and
this way one can never appreciate God's forgiveness, nor understand why Jesus died.

I will illustrate the key to forgiving a brother in faith.

Suppose you have a brother in the faith, and he sins against you by speaking falsely.

ministry of your congregation but it's just a position and you want it and he
she loves her too.

Then he starts spreading lies that you have sexually harassed

minors, and you have stolen money from the congregation and its ministries, you
he wants you to be eliminated from the chance of holding that position and
staying with the same one.

So he sins against God and against you, bearing false witness against you.

But you find out that he said those things, and you go to him and say: I forgive you, but
he has no remorse or regret, and denies that he said those things, and
DO NOT VALUE your forgiveness, he despises it, it is not for him because he does not acknowledge his
sin.

Jesus pointed out that your first duty is to rebuke him, to make him see that by saying those
lies, first of all, he sinned against God, and then against you, harming you,
when the moment arrives when he regrets his sin and asks you for forgiveness,
then you must tell him I forgive you, so that he values your forgiveness, once that

the money or the good, if you do not return the money you borrowed and you die,
you die in the sin of theft, with no time for repentance or to return what
you took it, which was already theft, since you never returned it. The Bible warns us to
pay what we owe and owe nothing to anyone (Romans 13: 7-8).

"The wicked borrows and does not pay back" Psalm 37:21.

Being holy like God is holy is a matter of morality and honesty.

Walking in holiness is putting into practice God's moral laws, from the things
smaller to bigger, in daily life, in all our
activities.

Bearing fruit.

Much or little, depending on which he will be rewarded by God, but the problem is
to bear absolutely no fruit with what the Lord gave him, for not giving
absolutely no fruit, when the Lord's servant had what to do it
cast into hell, had no valid justification for not having given absolutely
no fruit (Matthew 25: 14–30).

same.

The desire to self-justify for thefts committed through illegal downloads

The internet does not erase the sin of theft.

It is vital for the Christian to walk in holiness, actively resisting temptation,

that when he sins, he immediately repents to stop sinning, that

that was stolen by downloading it illegally from the internet, when it comes to music,
books, software, programs that are put up for sale but the Christian seeks
the way to instead of buying them, steal them through an illegal download of
internet.

Some Christians would not think of entering a store and stealing a CD, for if
if they were captured committing the theft, they would suffer the just punishment for their theft, and without
embargo, they steal through illegal downloads from the internet or buying copies
illegal (CD or DVD pirates).

Deleting the pornography that you downloaded, etc.

The quicksands of sin. When the Christian is

self-justifies in his sins, saying that he is already saved and
he can no longer fall into hell.
This is also because sin is like quicksand in which if the
Cristiano falls, and if it is not soon to repent, these quicksands of
sin is sinking them deeper and deeper every time, and unrepented sin
the unconfessed sin leads the Christian to justify themselves in their sin, and
is falling more and more into other sins.

To illustrate this, I briefly repeat a real case that I mentioned elsewhere.

That is why it is so important to walk in holiness by obeying God, that is why it insists.
Jesus, not everyone who says to me 'Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, even if they say 'Lord' to me.

who became flesh and blood, who died and rose again.

The born-again Christian remains responsible for their actions and for their
sins, and as long as I have no remorse of conscience and genuine
repentance to confess them to God and stop sinning, remains in sin
not unconfessed, not repentant, and therefore not forgiven by God, and if the
Cristiano, even if born again, dies in that condition of sin, falls into the
hell, for he does not die in holiness and without holiness no one can see God.

The blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse the sin of the sinner, but always and
when there is genuine repentance and the sinner confesses his sin to God.
As the text says:

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our

sins and cleanse us from all wickedness” 1 John 1: 9.

But if the born-again Christian sins and does not repent, they self-

words of Jesus in the sense that those who will enter heaven are those who obey

they will enter heaven, because they say that since salvation is a gift, they already have it

to spend time enslaved to their electronic devices wasting time.
Because that way is how Satan takes advantage of them.

Devil's traps, things that seem harmless or

until good.
Another practical way to walk in obedience to God, taking care of salvation, is not to
falling into the traps of the devil, some subtle and others not so much, which he sets
to attract Christians who want to have more spiritual experiences.

The devil has several things that can attract the Christian who desires a
spiritual progress, but the Christian who does not exercise discernment, and does not ask
God's help specifically to discern and not fall into the traps more.
disguised as the devil, begins to encounter spiritual and metaphysical experiences that
they are of Satan but are disguised as harmless or even disguised
of being Christian experiences.

The Christian must exercise discernment, seek God's help and guidance, and
do your diligent research before getting involved in various
activities such as some that I will mention below.

Christians who think that the holiness of God is compatible with other practices
spirituals, get involved in things that are not of God, and are entrances to
demons, such as:

Silva Method

Reiki

Healings with 'spiritual guides'

Rosicrucians

Secret societies like Freemasonry.

With a disguise of 'Christian movement' there are things in the repertoire of Satan.
like:

Movement of the 'holy laughter'

Christian mysticism or mystical Christianity

Christian Metaphysics

Move to appear gold, diamonds, and other things.

There are some Satanists who pretend to be Christian preachers and are
very famous, as they have their television shows and some of them go for
the world holding events and crusades, but as they are actually servants
from Satan, something they do at their events is that they transfer demons
about the naive Christians who attend their crusades and events. In my
articles about satanism in the church, I address this topic in more detail, here in
my site profeciaenlabiblia.wordpress.com

So that the Christian does not lose salvation, even and

when I live in sin, even when I continue to sin and
even if I die with unrepentant sins or
confessed.
If that is your case, that is to say, you have believed that Jesus shed his blood and died in
your place, and you have been born again, you have been made a new creature by the
to work of the Holy Spirit that has regenerated you, but you still wish to have the
tranquility and security that when you die you will go to heaven even while you continue
sinning, even when you continue to practice sins of which you do not
you regret, and you want to have the security and confidence that if you die in sin,
you will go to heaven and not to hell, so do the following:
Tell God that contrary to what Jesus has said and what the Bible says, that
being born again it is necessary to obey Him and walk in holiness, or if one arrives
to sin, repent and confess your sins to him (Matthew 7:21–23, Hebrews 5:9)
1 John 1:9) tell him that you want to have the peace of being able to sin, of not
forgive their offenses to others, not to admit guilt or feel remorse
no remorse for the sins you commit and even in that condition, die and go
to heaven.

Tell God that you want the assurance of being able to die by suicide, to die.
while you commit fornication, adultery, to die while you are watching
pornography, dying without paying others the money you owe them (that is to say
robbing them), dying while you are drunk and still having the assurance of going to the
sky.

Ask God to make an exception for you, ask Him to be a bad judge and judge.
unjust, to overlook your sin of which you do not admit guilt, to ignore
your sin for which you do not repent nor feel remorse, may it forgive you
when you do not forgive others their offenses, ask God to make an exception
with you.

But there is a big problem.

God makes no exceptions, He is a just judge, and if you having believed in Jesus
died for your sins and having been born again by the work of the Holy Spirit,
you sin and die without having admitted your guilt, without remorse and without
repentance, without confessing your sin before God, then at your physical death,
God will place you with the hypocrites, in hell so that you may be punished justly.
deservedly, with a greater punishment because knowing the will of God and
you did not keep your moral laws and you despised them, thinking that you would not
you deserve to lose your initial salvation thinking that just because you were born again
you have the right to sin in any way, because what you really want is
sinning comfortably and confidently, imagining that by being born again already
you are exempt from giving an account to God for your sins committed after
to be born again.

As a born-again Christian, you have to die physically in holiness to

12:14

offenses (Matthew 6: 14–15)
Because it is important for you to know the character and justice of God revealed in the
Bible, and knowing that God cannot overlook your sins for which you do not
you regret or confess to him, because God even in the case of the Christian who has been
justified by his faith in Jesus, if that justified one to whom it has been said for sure
you will live, if you sin trusting that you have been justified, your righteousness will not be remembered
(Ezekiel 33: 12–13)

The servant of the Lord who confidently began to sin was called to account by
surprise and received harsher punishment than others because knowing the will of his
Lord, did not obey him (Luke 12:42-48).

That servant of the Lord who was called to account when he was caught in
sin was placed with the hypocrites in hell (Matthew 24: 45–51).

Can salvation be lost? Why?

salvation? How to take care of our
salvation?
Part of the confusion that exists on this topic is
for not clarifying what salvation is. Salvation?
From what or whom and why?

Briefly salvation, what for? What is the

salvation?

God has created human beings with free will

person after dying physically, will yield
you tell God about your actions and God will judge you
every person and will pour out his wrath against those who
they are guilty of sin.
God abhors those who commit sin (those who transgress)
its laws).
The foolish shall not stand before your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity.
Psalm 5:5

The LORD tests the righteous; but the wicked and the one who loves violence, His soul hates.
11: 5.

But because of your hardness and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself for the day
from the wrath and the revealing of the righteous judgment of God, which will pay each one according to their
works: eternal life to those who, persevering in doing good, seek glory and honor and
immortality, but wrath and anger towards those who are contentious and do not obey the truth, but instead
who obey injustice." Romans 2:5-8.

God is just and must punish the sinner for his sins, as sins are committed before
all against the highest authority of Creation, (against God Jehovah), deserve after the
physical death, a punishment consisting of endless torture in the lake of fire and sulfur.

Eternal torture in the lake of fire and sulfur is the punishment that every person deserves for sinning.

Salvation is that after physical death one can escape from the deserved wrath of God against

the deserved punishment of torture forever that we deserve for sinning against God,
transgressing their laws.
It is the salvation from the anger of God and the deserved punishment that should sentence us for our...
sins.

Salvation is literally being saved from receiving the wrath of God at our physical death.
against us, with His eternal punishment, things we deserve for sinning against Him, transgressing
its laws.

When a person dies physically, they will find themselves in hell to receive God's wrath for
his sins, or he will be safe from the wrath of God, in heaven, there is no condition
intermediate.

Example parachute.

People board a warplane, as if it were a real war, the flight will be

turbulent and the plane could be shot down.

On board, they are offered a free parachute, some do not take it seriously, they do not put it on, others do
They receive it for free, but they don't take care of it, they don't use it, they think there will be time to
put it on in case the plane goes into a nosedive.

they are not safe back on solid ground. The plane is under attack, it is nosediving, a
a person who received their parachute, but didn't take care of it, took it off and now can't find it, the other
He never wore it, someone else received it and took care of it and keeps it on, as the plane goes into a dive, it exists.
the risk of falling to the ground collapsed and dying from the terrible impact, while the plane
it starts to fall no one is safe yet on solid ground. The way they dealt with the
parachute, will be decisive for his future, the one who received the parachute and did not take care of it, and no longer
finds, will die whether he jumps or stays on the plane, the one who cared for his parachute jumps, but
it is until the moment he lands on solid ground with his parachute open, that we can say that
he is already safe on solid ground. Before that, several things could happen that would prevent his return.

Now we will see the character of God and His justice, through various Bible texts and we will see if the
the previous illustration is applicable to the topic of salvation and to what extent.

At what moment is one saved, how does it happen?

Jesus said that God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus (who is God made flesh and bone) so that
everyone who believes in him shall have eternal life. (John 3:16) Note in this statement of Jesus,
what it is for everyone, and not just for a few chosen ones or the predestined, does not exist the
predestination in that some, from the moment they are born physically, regardless of what they do, go to the
hell or heaven upon physical death. There is no such predestination. The other thing to highlight is that
it is for the one who believes in Jesus, it is an act of free will of the person and it is between the
person and Jesus, if you believe in him, it is not about the person believing in the preacher or evangelist nor...
confess to the preacher whether you believe or not, it is something personal between the person and Jesus. And note that it says
for the one who believes, in present continuous verb, because some come to stop believing, like the
we will see later that the Bible speaks of some who, having become true
Christians will abandon the faith.

But to enter heaven, Jesus himself points out that it is necessary to be born again.

First of all, I must emphasize that the words of Jesus (Jesus Christ) are the words of God Jehovah.

Jesus explained that in order to enter the kingdom of God, it is necessary to be born again, speaking to
Nicodemus, Jesus warns him not to be surprised that Jesus teaches that with all
Surely no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. (John 3:3–8).

So Jesus teaches that it is necessary to be born again, to be born of the Spirit (John 3:5). Being born

Jesus emphasizes, "Do not marvel that I said to you: You must be born again" John 3:6.

If Jesus indicates that to enter heaven it is necessary to be born again, then the one who is not born of
new, cannot enter heaven, even if they have taken the first step in believing in Jesus.

Jesus indicates that God's desire is that no one should perish, and for this, He has provided the means to
that everyone who believes in Jesus shall not perish but have eternal life. (John
3:16

So what the person can do, what is up to the person, is to believe in Jesus.

But what does it mean to be born again Biblically? The

I can be born again myself or it
What does God do in me?
The only type of real Christian is the one who is born again, since one is not born a Christian.
One becomes a born-again Christian not by being born or growing up in a Christian home, one is not a Christian.
except by joining a religion, one cannot be born again by being a member of

biblical and that neither Jesus nor his apostles taught or practiced when preaching the gospel.

Jesus likens this experience of the new spiritual birth to physical birth, noting that it
that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit (John 3:6) so Jesus
illustrate this experience as a rebirth, but a spiritual rebirth.

A person never chooses when to be born, a person can never choose the moment of
its conception can never choose the date of its birth or its birthday, but
it will be born after its gestation period following conception.

Jesus continues to teach after emphasizing that it is necessary to be born again, just as
the wind blows and one does not know where it comes from or where it goes, one can feel it and hear it, and so
it is the case of anyone who is born of the Spirit, that is to say, of anyone who is born of

having the requirement to enter heaven that Jesus mentions requires being born again, requires having

one to Jesus–John 6:44, 65). And one knows with all certainty that one has been born again, it is not
that one does Jesus a favor by 'accepting Him' or doing Him a favor by 'making a decision for Him.'
Who is certain that they have been born again can also identify that after being born
again, he had a marked hunger and need to read the Bible and learn more of the word of
God, a "hunger and thirst" for the word of God. And as evidence of that new birth

Initial Salvation.
It could be said that the born-again Christian has an initial salvation, like the person who
received the parachute.

Having an initial salvation, Jesus' teaching is that one should not be complacent and far from
to be able to fall asleep, one must obey God and take care of salvation, achieve salvation
final.

Now Jesus adds that those who will enter heaven are not those who call Him Lord. Jesus
It indicates that those who will enter heaven are those who obey God. The same is pointed out by a
text in Hebrews.

See the following text:

Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the
the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Many will say to me on that day: Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name
Did we not cast out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?

And then I will declare to them: I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of evil." Matthew 7:21
-23

In the previous passage, Jesus himself is saying that those who do the will of God will enter heaven.
will of the Heavenly Father. Certainly, Jesus first taught that to enter into heaven
It is necessary to be born again, but now add another condition saying that it is necessary.
Obeying God is necessary to walk in His commandments, walking in holiness.

We have another text in which the Lord Jesus indicates that in order to achieve final salvation, there exists the
condition of remaining in obedience, and remaining in faith in Jesus.

Jesus says: "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever keeps my word will never see
death" John 8: 51.
Since obviously human beings are subject to physical death, the first death ('And of
the way that is established for men to die once, and after this the
"judgment" Hebrews 9:27) then Jesus refers to the one who keeps His word in obedience, not
he will see the second death.

"And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death" Revelation
20:14

So Jesus is pointing out that a condition for attaining final salvation is to keep his
word in obedience and faith in him.

Jesus emphasizes that those who obey him are his true family.

For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and
sister, and mother” Matthew 12:50

Thus, Jesus emphasizes that obedience to God is a condition for attaining salvation.
complete and final.

Being a believer and follower of Jesus carries the responsibility of obeying Him, Jesus commanded
that the new disciples be taught to obey the teachings that Jesus commanded them
obey the first disciples, 'Go and make disciples... teaching them to observe all the
things that I have commanded you" Matthew 28:20.

Let us look at the following verse in Hebrews that corroborates what Jesus says, indicating that Jesus
he is the author of salvation for those who obey him:

and having been perfected, became the author of eternal salvation for all who
Hebrews 5:9 shows how necessary it is for the born-again to remain in
obedience to Jesus, God wants the born again to obey Him by remaining in holiness,
keeping his commandments.

This is also confirmed in 1 John 2:17:

And the world passes away, and its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever.
always

Once again, another biblical text confirms that the condition of doing God's will is necessary.
to attain final salvation and eternal life.

As Revelation 22:14 says:

"Blessed are those who keep his commandments, so that their power may be in the tree"
of life, and let them enter through the gates of the city
Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

This is the text that makes sense (the 1960 translation presents several problems), this text in the
old version, matches the other biblical texts throughout the Bible that speak of
keep the commandments of God, (such as:

And by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

And whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and
"We do the things that are pleasing in His sight" 1 John 3:22

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.

Well, this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not

her descendants, those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of
Jesus Christ” Revelation 12:17

"Here is the patience of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of"
Jesus' Revelation 14:12

These texts agree on the concept that not only the entrance is narrow but also the path.
The way of salvation is narrow, it is a path of remaining in faith in Jesus and of staying in
obedience to the commandments of God, and to reach physical death in complete holiness (not
there is half holiness) in order to see the Lord, since without holiness no one will see Him.

For he who has believed in Jesus and has been made a new regenerated creature, born again
Through the work of the Holy Spirit and by keeping His commandments, one remains in Jesus.

And this is His commandment: That we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another.
to others as he has commanded us.

And he who keeps His commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that
He remains in us, by the Spirit that He has given us.” 1 John 3: 23-24

In such a way that then the one who continues to believe in Jesus and continues to keep the
God's commandments and obeying God leads to final salvation and entry into heaven, as
the Lord Jesus said:

Not everyone who says to me: Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will.
will of my Father who is in heaven” Matthew 7:21

The Bible throughout many texts shows that entry into heaven is conditioned on:

Repent from sin to stop sinning.

Believe in Jesus, and continue to believe in him

To be made a new creature, regenerated, being born again spiritually and this is something that
only the Holy Spirit can do it.

Stay in obedience to God, keeping His commandments.

To remain in holiness, to reach complete and absolute holiness at the moment of physical death,
For without holiness, no one will see the Lord.

Obeying God is not about works that can...

make salvation win.
Certainly, we know that salvation is not obtained by our works, but when we are born of
new, repentant of sin, asking God for forgiveness for sinning against him, we are reborn,
we are justified, but God at that moment could practically tell us go and do not sin
more, in other words you have already been made a new creature, regenerated, justified now obey and
you are in holiness, do not commit more sins.
Obeying God once we have been born again in no way means that by
our works earn us our salvation, if we said to the Lord Jesus, 'Lord I have earned myself
salvation, by works, because I have obeyed you, I have behaved well" Surely the Lord Jesus,
I would say: 'Useless servant, your minimum obligation was to obey me.'

Likewise you, when you have done all that you were commanded, say: Servants
We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.” Luke 17:10

If you intend to tell the Lord Jesus that you have earned your salvation through works and that by it
so much of his spilled blood was useless for you, and that you have earned your salvation because afterwards

from there, you no longer engaged in fornication, nor stealing, nor committing lewdness, nor watching pornography, nor
masturbating, and thanks to that, if you think those are works that bring salvation and you believe
that your works have given you salvation, surely Jesus would say to you:

Useless servant, it was your duty to stop sinning and walk in obedience to the Father and in holiness from now on.
that you were born again.

Besides the fact that it is obvious that you have not understood, nothing you do will ever be able to erase your
disgusting sins against God and His moral law, and that God does not forgive you just like that, God
same in the person of Jesus–God the Son, occupied the place that you deserved to occupy on the cross,
he died as if he had been a sinner, while Jesus was and is holy and the sinner is you.

Just as if you were trying to tell the Lord Jesus, that because since you were born again you no longer
You sinned, you deserve a reward, what you deserve is for the Lord Jesus to say to you: Unworthy servant, that is what
What you should have done was your duty to obey the Father.

After the person believes in Jesus and is born again by the work of the Holy Spirit, God wants
that the Christian obey His commandments, remain in holiness, and sanctify themselves, and that
when you fall into sin, be quick to sincerely repent of your sin and seek
walking in holiness, sinning no more. In no way will God be supporting the born of
new, now I walk in sin, in no way will God agree that the one born of
new that little one remains in sin without repenting.

Jesus said that his sheep, his followers, the Christians, hear his voice, and he says that his sheep follow him.
they continue, and being so to these sheep, to these Christians who follow him, obeying God the Father and
His commandments, obeying Jesus (John 14:15 and 23), then Jesus gives them eternal life.

exercising their own and free will which is still preserved even after being born again, it is not that Jesus them
neither forced nor squared, Jesus does not take the sheep by force, Jesus does not force the sheep, to the
Christians to follow Him. You have to understand and know the character of God, and how continuously
tests the obedience of the Christian, and how God desires for the Christian to submit their own
will to that of God, of one's own will, God does not force Christians to obey Him.

But it is also true that the true Christian, the one who has been born again, does sin, but
as long as he has time to repent of his sin, to admit his guilt and confess it to God,
It still has a remedy.

Because when the Christian falls into sin and as 1 John 1:9 says, 'If we confess'
Our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
but if the born-again Christian sins and does not repent and does not confess his sin to God

mercy. Therefore, if one does not confess them and does not turn away, one does not attain mercy.

Thus throughout the entire Bible, God shows that He does not forgive sin without repentance, without
remorse, a genuine regret that means to change and stop sinning.

Jesus talks about overcoming, emphasizes repentance, says that the door is not only narrow.
but the path is also narrow.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches: To him who overcomes, I will give to eat from the
tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God" Revelation 2:7.

Here Pablo mentions the word eliminated in Greek as the word adokimos, which means

All these passages make sense when we understand what salvation is, as I explained.
Before, it is that at our physical death we escape the wrath and punishment of God that is just.
we deserve for our sins, if it is about the salvation of an event that occurs after
our physical death, then salvation (final) is achieved just after our
physical death.

Prior to our physical death, our file has not yet been closed, what happens during
our physical life determines the events that occur after our physical death.

Jesus used the language of conquering in his teaching, that the Christian must be a conqueror.

Affliction; but take heart, I have overcome the world" John 16:33.

that gives up on persevering by exercising their free will.

Born again, free will is preserved. The Jews who left Egypt did not

The possibility that a person does not retain their salvation is that when a person is born of

a robot that from then on will always obey God, the born again remains human and
still has free will to act.

Consider the case of the Jewish people, taken out of Egypt, saved from the plague of death in Egypt,

But if on the path to be traveled they had walked in holiness, obeying and believing in God,
they could have entered the rest of the promised land.

It seems very naive to think that the Jews would have come to reason that just because they had already left
from Egypt they already had their entry to the promised land assured without first traveling the road, and that
Based on that reasoning, they might think that having secured entry could lead them to fall into
sin without this having consequences that prevented their entry into the promised land.

The case of the people of Israel who were freed by God from Egypt but ultimately did not enter in
the promised land for disobeying God, for not remaining obedient to Him, reminds me of the

God made the provision for His salvation, but then it was the individual responsibility of
Lot and family in terms of obeying to reach a safe place.

Although at first Lot's wife obeyed and left Sodom, she retained her free will but
he underestimated the instruction not to look back, he had no fear of God to obey, despite

And these things happened to them as an example, and they are written for our admonition,
who have reached the ends of the ages. Therefore, let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
1 Corinthians 10:11-12

If you can understand these earthly and physical examples, you can understand spiritual symbolism.

However, there are those who believe that by having an initial salvation upon being born again, they already have
their final salvation assured with entry to heaven even if they fall into continual sin and without
regret and that it has no consequences, they come to think that just because they left
Egypt with a new birth, no matter what happens they will enter the promised heaven and therefore
they can walk the path to the promised land even falling into sin and without repenting and still
enter the heaven.

The person who is born again and is intelligent will take care of their salvation by living in holiness and if
the sinner will repent to stop sinning, but the born-again person who is naive or lazy
To think, she will convince herself that by having initial salvation at being born again, and
while maintaining their free will, their actions are already irrelevant, they think that their actions of

And for this reason Jesus taught a parable of a servant who thought his master would be delayed in returning and had

and is rewarded by the Lord in the age to come, in no way is that, but a faithful servant,
a Christian, who is in holiness and obeying the Lord, (taking care of his salvation, giving
fruit) and for that reason the Lord gives him responsibilities and rewards in the next era. But if that
genuine Cristiano, that disciple of Jesus, is found in disobedience, sinning, not acting.
according to what Jesus expects of him, this disciple is considered useless for the kingdom of
God, and he will be placed alongside the hypocrites, this is a serious warning and call to attention.
What should alarm not the sinners and unconverted, but the genuine disciples of Jesus.

Born-again Christians have an even greater responsibility to obey God and walk in
holiness.
In Revelation 3, in Jesus' message to the Christians in Laodicea, he tells them that because they are lukewarm,
he will spew them out of his mouth, what a better illustration of not achieving final salvation.

Jesus advises them and urges them to repent, note that he does not force them, he does not save by force, if
think that Jesus makes these warnings about blotting out the name from the book of life and about vomiting out
his mouth to Christians, if he thinks that Jesus makes unfounded warnings and without possibility of

Hebrews 6:4–6 indicates that a born-again Christian can fall away, and even more this passage.

however, the Holy Spirit will accuse him of sin and if that person is sensitive they can
to repent. But God does not force the born-again Christian to repent. That is up to each individual.

The serious risk is that a Christian falls into sin and does not repent, and death takes them away.
Surprise, because with sin, that is, without holiness, no one will see the Lord, and as we have seen in
previous passages, and in others later on, God does not forgive the sin of the Christian who does not admit it
his guilt and he does not regret it.

Let's see what the Lord Himself says in Ezekiel 3:20 when He warns the prophet Ezekiel, 'If the...'
if the righteous turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I put a stumbling block before him, he

He regretted his sin.

God insists that whoever sins and repents should sin no more but walk in holiness.

It is illogical for God to forgive the Christian who does not admit to having done wrong.

If that Christian sins and does not admit to having sinned against God and therefore does not repent, that

he does not tell him about the previous justification received from Jesus, nor does he tell him the days he spent in
holiness.

Understand well verse 13, even if God has told him that he would surely live, such a Christian by
his own fault and trusting in his justice sins and does not repent, he will die, but die in sin
it means the second death, which is in the lake of fire and brimstone.

It is illogical for a Christian who is not yet in heaven to trust as if he were already there and think
who cannot lose their salvation, and instead of worrying about walking in holiness and
truly repent when one sins, walk through life as if already in heaven, neglecting
his salvation, trusting and minimizing the risk and possibility of sinning and not repenting.

Some Christian but immature people place the responsibility for their final salvation on
God, and in his spiritual ignorance or will it be spiritual blindness or spiritual immaturity or will it be that

Therefore, it is necessary that we pay more attention to the things we have heard, not

(Acts 4:31-36, 5:1-11)

Part of the problem with those who believe they can never lose their salvation, even when
they have unconfessed sins and that they continue to practice, is that they have not understood that God is
a fair judge who has to administer justice.

Because initial salvation can be lost or in other words, the person who believes in
Jesus and then is regenerated by the work of the Holy Spirit does not attain final salvation due to

Christian servant who sins by omission by not bearing fruit and is cast into hell.

The parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30) illustrates how a man calls his servants to
entrust his goods to them and goes away to return after a while and ask his servants for an account
about the use and leverage of the talents and goods entrusted to them.

The first two servants give positive accounts as they used the talents and with that, they gained.
more. Then their master congratulates them and calls them good and faithful servants, indicating that as in the
You have been faithful over little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.

The case of the third servant is radically different, as when giving an account, the servant claims that since
he knew that his master was hard and reaped where he did not sow, he was afraid and instead of using the talent
to bear more fruit, he kept it hidden without using it.

To which his master says, 'Wicked and negligent servant, you knew that I reap where I did not sow, you should have...'
At least given the talent to the bank to earn interest, the master orders that it be
take away the talent and give it to the good and faithful servants.

Furthermore, the master commands that the wicked and negligent servant be thrown into the darkness.
Outside will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.

When studying the parabola, it is important to consider that:

It illustrates part of the functioning of the kingdom of heaven.

The master gives his servants some talents according to their ability, the master is God or Jesus and their
Servants are those who serve him, the followers of Jesus or Christians. In this parable, the three...
people are servants, which is interpreted as the three being Christians.

The master, Jesus, returns after a while to ask the Christians how they used
His talents, Jesus will return and reward each Christian according to their work "Behold, I come quickly"
And my reward is with me to give to each one according to his work." Revelation 22:12

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each
one receives according to what they have done while in the body, whether good or bad
Corinthians 5:10. These words are directed by Paul to the church in Corinth, that is, it is a message to the
Christians.
Also, those who ultimately fall into hell and are cast into the lake of fire and sulfur are
judged according to their works Revelation 20:12

The first two good and faithful servants receive authority over much, in the similar parable.
From the mines, the master gives them authority to govern over cities (Luke 19:17 and 19)

Jesus teaches with those parables that faithful Christians who bear fruit will be put in authority.
in his kingdom and will reign with him, he teaches that not all Christians will be placed in
authority to govern and there will be differences in authority according to the works that each one has
done.

The parable shows that the third servant of the master, that is, a Christian who did not bear fruit, is a
wicked and negligent servant (lazy and idle are other meanings of the original Greek word
used), that is, that its master scolds it for not bearing fruit, and this is a sin (of omission or for not
to do) and for that reason he is cast into hell, for the place where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in others
parables are hell, as illustrated in Luke 13:28, Matthew 22:13. Also knowing that the
salvation is not by works ("For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not of
you, for it is a gift of God; not by works so that no one may boast” Ephesians 2: 8-9) Therefore,
It is not that the servant fails to achieve his salvation due to lack of works, but that having had a new
birth or initial salvation and therefore servant of his master, it was expected of him the fruit of a servant,
but because of his lack of fruit he ends up in hell.

Jesus also taught that whoever does not remain in Him and does not bear fruit is thrown into the fire.

Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it so that
that bears more fruit” John 15: 2

I am the vine, you are the branches: he who abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit;
for without me you can do nothing. He who does not abide in me will be cast out like
the branch and it withers; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned" John 15:5-6

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

The case of this third servant is radically lamentable and it is different from the case of the servant who
fulfill the commandments of God, as Jesus taught in Luke 17: 7-10.

Who of you, having a servant who plows or feeds cattle, when he comes in from the field, immediately
He says to him: Come in and sit at the table? Doesn’t he rather say: Make me dinner, get ready, and serve me?
until he has eaten and drunk; and after this, do you eat and drink? Does he thank the servant?
Why did he do what he was ordered? I think not. So you also, when you have ...
Having done all that has been ordered, say: We are worthless servants, for we have done what we ought to do.

The servants or the Christians who obey the laws of God do not do something extra.

God, they will be rewarded according to their fruits (additional works). For example, he would not be worthy of

they will apostatize from the faith, listening to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons
Apostatizing or abandoning faith in the Lord Jesus requires having first had faith in Jesus.

It is evident that some Christians may abandon the faith and in fact this passage prophesies that

reach final salvation.
The message throughout the New Testament is a warning to believers in Jesus, to
persevere and remain in faith in Jesus and remain in holiness in obedience to God.

It is a message to be responsible.

The apostle Paul says in his letter to the Colossians about Jesus and the reconciliation he made.
for with us and God the Father:
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16For in him all things were created, things in heaven and things on earth,
visible and invisible; whether thrones, whether dominions, whether principalities, whether powers; everything was
created through him and for him.
17And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together;
18and he is the head of the body, which is the church, he who is the beginning, the firstborn from among the

dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy;

19For it pleased the Father that in him all fullness should dwell,
20and through him to reconcile all things to himself, whether things on earth or things
they are in the heavens, making peace through the blood of his cross.
21And to you also, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind, doing

bad deeds, now it has reconciled you

22in his flesh, through death, to present you holy and blameless and

irrepressible in front of him;

23if you truly remain grounded and steadfast in the faith, and do not move from the hope of

the gospel that you have heard, which is preached in all creation under heaven; of which
I, Pablo, was made minister.” Colossians 1:15-23.

Notice in verses 22 and 23, that if we truly remain grounded and steadfast in faith in
Jesus, then we will be presented holy and blameless before him, no analysis is necessary.
very deep to understand that then when we do NOT remain grounded and firm in faith
in Jesus, then we will NOT be presented holy and without blemish before God.

Persevering and staying in faith in Jesus until the end, (whether physical death or the rapture of the
Church) is an essential condition for achieving final salvation.

He who believes in Jesus and is even regenerated by the work of the Holy Spirit, but then
go back, it is not worthy of reaching final salvation.

Do not pay debts and die without covering them

Christians who incur debts and do not pay them do not give importance to
return the money that is not yours and keep it (which is theft). Not having money does not eliminate
the sin does not cover the debt, if death arrives and the file is closed with a debt with a
unreplenished money (from a theft) is an unrepented sin. Some Christians attempt to
self-justifying their sin of theft, of not returning the money they borrowed, of not returning the
articles that were borrowed, but that self-justification does not eliminate the fault, does not eliminate the
dishonesty and sin of not returning what was borrowed.

If you have debts, pay them off; if you don't have the money to do so, ask God for help to cover them.
that the Christian does not have money to cover debts does not eliminate the obligation to cover them. The Bible
teaches us to cover debts, to replenish what was borrowed, remember the case of the borrowed axe that Elisha
he floated in the water, so that he could be returned, and the case of the widow who had debts, and
God willing, Eliseo provided her with oil to sell and pay her debts.

The practice of sinners is to borrow, to ask for money or something and not
return it.

Borrowing and not repaying is a sin equivalent to theft; it is taking something from another person.
neighbor and keep it, by deception or lie saying it is only borrowed and that it
he will return, so the born-again Christian who borrows and does not pay and dies in that
condition, dies in his sin and those who die in sin fall into hell, cannot enter the
heaven, for without holiness no one can see God.

The reality is that no, and if after committing that sin one does not repent and does not make amends for the harm,

Another cause could be denying Jesus and dying without having time to repent.

Perhaps the one reading this does not live in a nation where being a Christian, having and reading a Bible, and

A Christian who commits suicide. There is no time to repent for the sin of suicide.

For example, the case of the son (27 years old) of the famous pastor Rick Warren, author of the book 'A Life'
with purpose" who committed suicide with a gunshot. The case of a Christian who commits suicide is that he is
committing a sin of self-homicide and has no time to repent.

Tom White, former director of the Voice of the Martyrs, apparently died by suicide, this after
accusations of having abused a minor.

It is a fact that a born-again Christian can go through problems and suffer from depression and
demonic oppression (even Christians can be demonized) demons come to oppress and
put thoughts but cannot force the person even Christian to kill themselves, if
the Christian does not cling to Jesus and does not seek support in intercession and prayer, but rather decides to give himself
by being defeated and cowardly killing oneself (committing homicide against oneself), he commits
a sin and if suicide is successful, there is no time to repent of one's sin, thus one falls.

the idolaters and all liars will have their part in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is
the second death” Revelation 21:8

–A Christian who bears absolutely no fruit.

As we saw earlier. The problem is not giving some fruit or little fruit but being able to give
fruit yields absolutely no fruit.

Another very peculiar reason why a true born-again Christian may lose his
salvation is through:

The mark of the beast - Whoever chooses to take it has no forgiveness anymore -

It is worth noting what the Bible states regarding those who choose to take the mark of the beast:

People cannot be forced to take it; they can still exercise their free will.

Any person who decides to receive the mark is no longer forgiven, is no longer redeemed.

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice: If anyone worships the beast and its image, and

Here the word translated as some - If anyone worships the beast... in the original Greek
means anyone, or every person—namely, that every person who worships the beast and receives its
brand will be condemned forever, every person, as the verse 11 says - No one who receives the
the brand of his name will have no rest day or night–but will be tormented with fire and sulfur
for centuries of centuries.

The message is clear and forceful that anyone who worships the beast and takes its mark will be
eternally condemned, no longer redeemable, no longer forgiven.

People will still have the freedom to choose to worship the beast, its image, and receive its mark.

This last passage indicates that those who testified to Jesus refused to worship the beast.

In what way does Satan try to deceive Christians.

Do not allow Satan to deceive you, because the devil says if you are already saved, you are no longer ...
Don't worry anymore, you no longer have to watch over being in holiness, the devil will tell you that you are already saved.
You can relax and trust and let your guard down. The opposite of what is continuously taught.
Bible about walking in holiness and repenting, watch and pray so as not to fall into temptation.

I remembered a Christian minister who has had extensive experience ministering to bound individuals.
by the devil and demonized and mentioned that he has NEVER seen the case of a person born from
new that could have been released from its demonic bonds without having first acknowledged and
confessed his sin. The more necessary it is for the Christian who falls into sin to acknowledge his
sin and confess it before God to be in holiness before dying.

What about the Christian who thinks he cannot lose his salvation and commits fornication or adultery and
At that moment, he dies of a heart attack? He dies in his sin without having time to acknowledge it.
repent and confess your sin to God.

And what about the Christian who believes he cannot lose his salvation and falls into the temptation of getting drunk and
having committed the sin of drunkenness, while being drunk suffers an accident and
dies? Dies in his sin without time to acknowledge his sin before God, without time to
repent and confess it before God.

Remember that God killed Ananias and his wife, without giving them time to repent.

But if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If you still believe that being born again, you can sin and not admit your guilt
and recognize it before God, and without repenting and without confessing it before God, he may die and enter his
presence, is that you still do not know the character of God and His holiness and His justice and Satan has

Some time ago I learned of a story that impacted me, the true case of a pastor, his son was
studying at a Bible College (or Bible Institute), to our best understanding the boy was
truly born again Christian, but still being a human subject to passions and
temptations. The night before graduation, the young man succumbed to temptation and along with others
the companions decided to go out to celebrate, but while drinking alcohol, sadly but true, they got drunk and
they suffered an accident in the car they were in, the son of this pastor died in the accident,
he died intoxicated without time to regret and ask God for forgiveness for his sin, the better pastor
knowing the truth and holiness of God that many other pastors, received the consolation of
another fellow shepherd, but the father of the dead son said that crying wasn't of much use, since
He knew that his son knew the truth and unfortunately died drunk, died in sin and that's it.
there was no way out of hell.

If you still believe that by being a true born-again Christian, (not one of those who think
Christians only for attending a place religiously every weekend, or for having prayed a
(sentence), and believes that by being born again, he cannot lose his salvation and then does not
it matters if you fall and remain in sin, you are playing with your eternity and trying to mock
God, but God cannot be mocked.

The harmful teaching that a Christian cannot lose their salvation minimizes and goes against
from the continuous instruction to walk in holiness and to repent that we find in the New
Testament, in the messages that Jesus gives to the churches in Revelation, the persistent call is to
to repent, even saying that if they don't do it, he will come when they least expect it.

Some will abandon the faith.

The Bible even indicates that in the last days some (perhaps many) will abandon the faith (1st
Timothy 4:1) and that in the last days instead of a revival, there will be a great apostasy
that is to say, many believers who will fall into the deception of the devil, leaving their faith in Jesus before the
revelation of the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2: 1-3), that is why Jesus said 'but when he returns the

salvation in Jesus and about holiness, there is no preaching about the return of Jesus and that He will come for a
holy and blameless church, some Christians find those topics uncomfortable and prefer to be
speak only about material blessings, they delight in a weekly conference-style preaching
motivational and to tell them that everything is fine and that the devil is not an enemy of which there is
to worry (contrary to what the Bible says in 1 Peter 5:8).

Jesus taught: "Therefore, if your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away from you; for it is better...
it's better for one of your members to perish, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your
your right hand causes you to fall, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of
your members, and not that your whole body be cast into hell” Matthew 5: 29-30.

If salvation could not be lost by a person who has been born again, even falling into
sin, Jesus would not have said something as radical as the above. Jesus was very radical in his teaching.
if any member of the body causes you to sin, it is better to cut it off than to fall.
in hell with the whole body.

No person should trust that because they have heard that salvation cannot be lost.
then falling into sin is not a serious matter, (for somehow almost magically there will be time to
repent or you will lose your salvation even if you fall into sin and do not admit your guilt
before God and do not regret it).

The commandment here from Jesus is to cut off from your body that part which makes you sin so that you can
to enter heaven crippled rather than fall into hell with all your limbs.

Conclusion.
The person who has been born again (an essential requirement to enter the kingdom of God as
Jesus teaches in John 3), and that being born again has an initial salvation, must maintain its
salvation, walking in holiness and obeying God.

However, since he can still sin, if he sins, he must admit his guilt.
God, repent from your sin (stop sinning, change) and confess it before God.

God cannot sin against the born-again Christian, who sins and does not admit that he sinned, and therefore does not
he repents, and does not confess his sin before God.

If the Christian dies in unrepentant sin, they do not die in holiness and fall into hell.

The Bible continually admonishes us, even as born-again believers, to obey God, walking
in holiness and to repent of our sins, to overcome.

It is fair because even the born-again Christian retains his free will to sin or to...
obey God, who must overcome the temptations or adversities set by Satan so that
rebels against God, God Himself and Jesus emphasize to the born again that they must overcome.
As God himself says in Revelation 21:7, "The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and he will be"
my Son." And as Jesus emphasizes in the messages to the Christians in Revelation chapters 2 and 3,
see Revelation 2:11 Jesus speaking to Christians says: 'He who overcomes will not be harmed by'

contrary to the biblical admonition that those Christians who have been born again should walk

Heaven is the Christians who obey God.

Those who promote the false teaching that salvation cannot be lost (and if it cannot be lost
losing does not need to be taken care of) they are saying that it doesn't matter how the born Christian lives his life
again, that the born-again Christian can be practicing sin
fornication, watching pornography, stealing (downloading songs illegally from the internet), not paying
their debts, and that even if they do not repent and death surprises them, they will still go to heaven, WHICH
IT IS FALSE.

There is a popular saying that it's not good to celebrate victory before the time, I remember a video
where a cyclist was in first place in a race and almost reaching the finish line, confident,
he decided to celebrate and raise his arms, which caused him to lose control of the bicycle and fall.
which not only lost the first place but also the second, third, fourth, more than a dozen passed
cyclists in front of him in just a few seconds, if for these mundane things the person
smart and with common sense is more careful not to celebrate victory too soon, how much
A born-again Christian must be more careful not to lose something even more valuable and something
eternal.

Jesus is the one who paid the price for your salvation with his own death on the cross, shedding his
innocent blood and He himself mentions in His own words in Matthew 6:14-15 that God does not.
He will forgive those who do not forgive others, and in Revelation 3:3-5 Jesus mentions the
Christians who do not repent, He will erase their name from the book of life, it is because
He, who is God himself made flesh and bone, knows and masters that subject above all others.

There are 2 people, both born again, the first person listens to a pastor who says
that salvation cannot be lost but compares that message with the Bible as indicated in Acts
17:11 and learn that according to the Bible and Jesus (and the aforementioned texts) if you

seek immediate repentance and sin no more.

The second person hears their pastor say that salvation is not lost and trusts in it,
without studying that teaching in the light of the Bible without applying Acts 17:11 and thinks that then not.
It makes a lot of sense to strive so hard for holiness, it gives rise to sins considering
they are small and do not regret them. This second person is spiritually immature
and he does not realize that it is now his responsibility to remain in holiness, that he must not

In real life, being born again and having the baptism of the Holy Spirit does not make one a super
Cristiano who cannot fall into sin ever again, but the key is that if he falls into sin, he
rise, shake off sin with sincere repentance, cry out to God for forgiveness and seek
sincerely not sinning anymore by crucifying the flesh each day, and asking the Holy Spirit for His help
to walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the desires of the flesh and walk in holiness.

it will be justified by saying that her pastor taught her that salvation could not be lost, or by saying
he thought that once born again he would no longer lose his salvation even if he fell into sin and
would not regret.

If you love someone, a family member for example, and you want your loved one, who is already
born again, I reached final salvation, what would you do if that loved one were
committing sins? Would you teach him something like, well, don't do it very often, or

talk about the reality of hell or lose even a part of your body so that you don't fall into it

I repeat, what would you do with your most loved one if you see them in unrepentant sin, would you tell them it's not necessary?
that you regret, keep doing it, after all, salvation is not lost? I think that if you are a

Maintaining this second attitude distances you more from God, it is a risky, careless, and little...

To remain in sin is like quicksand; it runs the high risk that when death comes for you

received greater punishment than others because, knowing the will of his Lord, he did not obey it (Luke

the hypocrites in hell (Matthew 24: 45–51).
