Can God Really Do It Series: Can God Really Keep Me Saved?

2 Tim. 1:12 CAN GOD REALLY KEEP ME SAVED?This morning, I will preach about an aspect of salvation that divides many Christians. This is the aspect known as “Once in Grace, Always in Grace.”Let’s read from God’s Word.2 Timothy 1:12King James Version12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.Intro: In this verse, the Apostle Paul makes a bold statement concerning his salvation. He tells us that he is confident that his salvation is eternal in nature. But, is it really? Is salvation something we can count on, or is it something we must simply hope will work out for us in the end? Can a Christian truly have absolute assurance that he or she is saved? And, can the Christian be sure that he or she will never be lost again? Is there anything you or I could do that would cause Jesus to take away our salvation? Is it possible for us to decide that we didn't want to be a Christian anymore and lose it that way? What I am asking is can God really keep you saved?
