CAN WE LOSE OUR SALVATION?

Several questions were asked in our Quest for Tough Questions that all boiled down to this one question; determined by our Survey to be #3.
Other questions asked included: “Is ‘once saved always saved’ the truth or “once saved always changing” the truth?
“Why can't we just take the chance to live sinful lives for a few years of enjoyment and then get it right with God again before we die?”
“Can I live like hell and then repent later in purgatory?”
Questions like this have been argued about for centuries, with one side saying, “Yes” and the other resounding, “No” with both quoting verses to prove their points.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE IS TRUE?

Recently, I conducted an informal survey of over 500 Email and Facebook Contacts, asking them what they thought were the most important questions people are asking today about God, Christianity, the Bible and life in general.

From this simple research, the number 1 question – our participating contacts think people are asking - turns out to be, “How do you know the Bible is true?”

In fact, 73% of these participants think this question is very important and 21% think of it as important, while only 6% think it is unimportant.

In obedience to 1 PETER 3:15 - which says to “always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you….” – I shall endeavor to answer this important question, “How do you know the Bible is true?”
