A question frequently asked goes something like this, “Once we’re saved, are we always saved?” or “Can I lose my salvation?” It is the belief often referred to as once saved, always saved. So is that belief true? Once we accept Christ are we always saved or can we lose our salvation?
Yes, you can lose your salvation, or it’s more accurate to say that you can choose to give it up. Salvation is a choice and you can choose to walk away from God at any point.
The Bible is clear that our names are written in the Book of Life and that our names can be blotted out. Here is a short video that answers this question and provides multiple Bible verses to show that the belief of once saved, always saved is not biblical.
