Can someone lose their salvation according to the Bible?

Answered in 2 sources

No, believers cannot lose their salvation as it is secured by God's power and grace, not by human effort.

The assurance of salvation in the Reformed tradition asserts that once a person is genuinely saved, they remain in that state eternally. This is supported by scripture such as John 10:28-29, where Jesus states that no one can snatch His sheep from His hand. The sermon reiterates that salvation is entirely dependent on God’s work, not on human actions or decisions. Ephesians 1:13-14 emphasizes that believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit, guaranteeing their inheritance. Therefore, the security of salvation is linked to God's unchanging nature and His promises, leading to the conclusion that true believers cannot lose their salvation.
