1 Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, (4) To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, (5) Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
For those who believe they can lose their salvation, today’s verses should be an eye opener. There is one reason that there is so much dissention between once saved always save proponents and those that believe you can lose your salvation. What is that reason?
There are people who pray a little prayer at the altar because their hearts were “stirred.” There is no heartfelt acknowledgement of their sin, no sorrow for their sin, and no repentance.
Today’s verses make it quite clear that our eternal salvation is not dependent on what we do or don’t do in order to keep it. Once we have been truly born again, salvation is finished and it is kept by God. Our inheritance (new life in Christ) is incorruptible, undefiled, and cannot fade away! We have a reservation in Heaven waiting for either our death or the Rapture! Peter ends with verse 5 with the fact that we are kept by the power of God!!!! We are not kept by our own works and good deeds. Granted, after we are saved, we should desire to do the Lord’s word, but that is not what will keep our salvation.
Salvation is a choice. Exactly what have you got to lose if you choose salvation? You will go to Heaven at the Rapture or at your death if you are saved. If you believe the lie that God would not send anyone to Hell, then you will go there. God is a righteous Judge and He will send you there, but only because it was your choice.
