Can we loose our salvation? That's the OP question.

Which of these methods would you choose to come to Christ, by fear or by love?

If by fear, than hell is the motive that drives you to Christ!
If love, than appreciation, forgiveness drives you to Christ.

Now, to satisfy the question "can one loose our salvation?

The answer is no! Why? Because salvation was not in our works but Gods.

God did the salvation thing for us, all we have to do is receive it.

That is why Paul says:
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

What does that mean? It means that the gift is there to be received, once received, one can not loose it.

The giver of the gift paid the price for your death sentence, and if a death sentence was paid for, does it matter who or what you are?

Now, if you come to Jesus by understanding and faith, salvation is yours as a gift, as like a new born babe, must struggle to grow up in that experience to wards maturity.

There is no escape for any soul, they all will bow at the knees of Jesus and will recognize Him for who He really is and be saved.

For there is no other way:Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

That does not mean that we must require everyone to believe as we do about Jesus being the only way, for God does know that there are other religions who have no clue as to the divinity of Jesus.

What we can do is love as Jesus loved regardless of who it is that we are speaking to.
For the genuine show of love touches the heart of the recipient and may be persuaded to believe as you do.

The energy, the devotion, the dedication to Jesus should be out of love and not fear.

All good attempts to be religious are futile unless love is the basis for your belief.




Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
