Can a true believer lose their salvation?

Answered in 3 sources

No, a true believer cannot lose their salvation, as secured by Christ's promise that no one can pluck them out of His hand.

The scriptural evidence strongly supports the belief that a true believer cannot lose their salvation. In John 10:29, Jesus explains that 'no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand,' emphasizing the security of those whom the Father has given to Christ. This assurance is bolstered by the understanding that salvation is a divine act, orchestrated and maintained by God alone. Believers may face trials, doubts, or even periods of rebellion, but these do not sever their relationship with God as their security lies not in their faithfulness but in Christ's unfailing commitment. Thus, the doctrine teaches that genuine believers are eternally preserved by God and will ultimately persevere in faith.
