Description
An examination of the Scriptures wrongly used in connection to it.
It is said that after a person receives the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour, it is possible that he could lose his salvation and become lost again, through allowing sin in his life. hence the believer’s salvation is a condition thing dependent on how he behaves after he is saved. An old conditional-security preacher said (erroneously), “Getting to heaven is like riding a bike, When you believe the gospel, the Lord puts you on it, but you have to pedal. If you stop pedalling, you’ll fall off and not get there!” This mistaken idea teaches that the believer must do his part to ensure that he gets to heaven; his salvation therefore depends upon his works. This is a plain denial of Scripture (Rom. 4:1-8; Eph. 2: 8-9; Titus 3:5, etc.).
This false doctrine is a serious error, for it undermines the grace of God and the finished work of Christ. It also demeans the impeccable character of God.
Our desire in this booklet is to state the plain teachings of Scripture on this subject, so that there would be no mistake about the believer’s eternal security. And then we want to look at some of the Scriptures that are wrongly used to support this false doctrine, and explain what they really mean, so that our readers will see the error in those misinterpretations.
