Can We Lose Our Salvation? | Christ For YouText: Luke 8:4–15 | The Parable of the Sower (Sexagesima & The Baptism of Gloria Kerstein) Can a baptized Christian fall away?If faith can be lost, how does it happen?If Christ saves by His Word, what keeps you from drifting?And when you feel yourself slipping, where do you go?Jesus answers with the Parable of the Sower. The seed is the Word of God, and the soils are hearers. Some lose the Word because the devil snatches it. Some believe for a while, then testing scorches what never sank deep. Some slowly suffocate as life, comfort, and a crowded calendar choke the Word out without a fight. The warning is real: salvation isn’t something you keep in your pocket while you live as if Christ doesn’t matter.But the comfort is stronger: the Sower does not stop sowing. Christ keeps His people by giving what He promises, again and again, through preaching, forgiveness, and His gifts. This sermon was preached at the Baptism of Gloria Eve Kerstein, where God put His Name on her and gave her salvation. And the Church’s task is simple: keep bringing her, and you, back to the Word that saves and sustains.Subscribe & Share:Spotify: Christ For YouPortuguês: Cristo Para VocêWebsite: ZionWG.orgLooking for a Lutheran Church near you?
