Why the Saved Are Safe

There are many who seem to object to that blessed Scriptural teaching which we have called the Safety of the Saved.

There are those who think that one truly born of God can be lost. That one can be regenerated today and unregenerated tomorrow. Those who deny the safety of the saved, imagine that the doctrine of eternal security gives to Christians a license to live licentiously. That if your daily life does not assure your salvation, you will naturally give reign to your passions and live as you list. Such teaching is absolutely erroneous.

If a child of God sins, he will be punished. He will soon learn that it does not pay to sin.

If a child of God sins, he loses his rewards. In fact, grace teaches us how to live, and the security of the believer, when rightly understood, and Scripturally explained, never leads to lewdness.

We rejoice that when Christ saves, He does not do a half work. We are not taken up, out of the miry clay, to be fastened by the thin and easily broken rope of our own deeds, over the horrible pit of hell. When God saves a sinner, He implants within him a new nature and He saves forevermore.
