Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Bible say about salvation?

The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God received through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8). It declares that all have sinned (Romans 3:23), but God offers forgiveness and eternal life to those who believe.

How is a person saved according to the Bible?

Romans 10:9 states that confessing Jesus as Lord and believing God raised Him from the dead leads to salvation. It is by grace through faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Can a person lose their salvation?

Christians disagree on this. Those holding 'eternal security' cite John 10:28 ('no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand') and Romans 8:38-39. Others point to warnings in Hebrews 6:4-6 and 2 Peter 2:20-22 as evidence that falling away is possible. Both sides agree that genuine faith produces perseverance and holy living.
