once redeemed always redeemed?,?

Question

Are you, it seems not according to the book of Hebrews chpt 10?
One sacrifice for sin, if you sin again tough no further sacrifice can help. As we are all sinners, and our nature is to sin who can meet this requirement . Don't tell me you've never taken a biscuit without asking, or told a "white lie". We can never be perfect through good deeds or our own works/strength. What hope then?

Answer 1

Once saved always saved - YES. Jesus wants us to be secure in our faith. Once you were born, you will always be a child of your parents regardless of what you do. Same with JC. Once you are born again, you will always be a child of God no matter what you do.

Romans 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It also says in Hebrews 10 23-Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.How do you expect to do that unless you also believe Rom 8.38?

What Jesus did on the cross was all sufficient. There is no need for anything more, such as you own efforts. The forgiveness of sin as a result of what Jesus did on the cross, is sufficient to forgive all your sins. Once you have that you don't need anything else. We have been made perfect such that we have a foretaste of heaven AND are being made perfect in that we still sin, but that sin no longer seperates us from the love of God.

The sacrifices offered in the temple were only shadows of the sacrifce that Jesus offered. The temple sacrifices were only partially and temporarily effective which is why they had to be repeated. Jesus' sacrifice was all suffcient for time and scope, so didn't need to be repeated ever again.

Heb 10.26 is talking about people who heard the Gospel but chose to reject it. There is nothing else that will save them from thier sin. No animal sacrifices or anything. Their nature is to continue sinning. Our nature has been changed and is no longer to continue sinning but to battle sin. So go and do likewise.

Answer 2

When we accept that we are sinners, decide to take our lives down a new road by following the teachings of Jesus Christ, are baptised in water and baptised in The Holy Spirit, we are redeemed and become Sons of God. Sin has got no hold on us. That is, in the past we were compelled to sin. When a Christian sins it is a deliberate choice and is more serious because of that. The Bible says that God is faithful and just to forgive even then. However, the only sin that cannot be forgiven is, after experiencing The Holy Spirit, to call Him evil (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit). A Christian can rebel against God and deliberately stop obeying Him. The Bible says it would have been better for him if he had never been saved in the first place.

Answer 3

Is this the passage?
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Now put it in context with this:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

This is denial of the Holy Spirit for which there is no forgiveness. This happens at judgment at the end of the age.. Many I have seen on answers are on their way to this I only wish there was a way to reach them before they sin to death.... Jim

Answer 4

Those who teach once lost is to teach always lost and there is no hope.

Within this "theology" the only "hope" is to become and to remain sinless.

Sadly, the greater majority of "Christian" churches teach loss of salvation which is not the good news of the gospel but is only more of the same bad news that the Pharisees had to offer.

Christ redeemed us from the law of sin and death through his sacrifice that was eternal forgiveness of sin. Therefore, that is why there is only one sacrifice for sin which answers you question on that verse.

Answer 5

well now, if you took the biscuit without asking- or told a "LIE" (no such a thing as a white lie) deliberately- then you purposely sinned- we are so not perfect that is why Jesus sacrificed his life for us- because He knew we would- Miss the mark- so to speak. we are to try to do good not evil and Not sin intentional- and No I do not take biscuits without asking- and like I mentioned before No white lies- no lies at all- the truth hurts sometimes- but it can also set you free just keep reading your Bible and He will lead you Bless You

Answer 6

this is one of the oldest arguements and points of schism or division known to Xians

there is no way to know but using logic it would be absurd for 'jesus' to die again over and over for the 'sins' of the world

I feel we are each responsible for our own actions and only in special circumstances can a person stand in your place and take your punishment.

if that's the case the real sacrifice would be 'god' is still in hell for eternity, but then again religion and logic do not work, like water and oil

it's better to put aside futile arguments about a next life you do not have and go with the one you have and focus on being a good steward and not just burrying your 'talent' into the ground and be found idle and not doing works of compassion or good faith to our fellow humans

Answer 7

I do believe in 'once saved always saved'. Anyone who keeps on sinning DELIBERATELY it says, I guess that means if you heard the truth and chose to ignore it and follow your evil desires, or rejected the gift of salvation. I believe that anyone who backslides will be brought back to Jesus before they die. You have to take the whole doctrine into consideration, not just one passage that is a little unclear.

Answer 8

Jesus being born and being cruified and arising took care of our sins.He was the ulitmate sacrifice for our sins.It is only thru his shed blood we can have forgiveness today and everyday to come and no our deeds could never be good enough thats why God sent his only begotten SON

Answer 9

Hebrews Chapter 10 is more about the old way of forgiveness... its saying that we are now redeemed through the blood of jesus christ, and we dont have to offer burnt offerings anymore.
Once you asccept jesus as your savior, you are covered in his blood... and it is permanent! the Bible says that we are his, and no man can pluck us out of his hand.
We do have to ask for forgiveness for that little white lie, but we are redeemed wether we do or not. Everyone will answer for his or her sins, but when we know Jesus as our savior, he will be our "lawyer" before God.

Answer 10

I think it depends on your definition of the term "Redeemed".
I had been sold to sin, but Jesus paid the price of my death, and bought me back, giving me the gift of eternal life.
Does that mean I'm going to be perfect from now on?
No...I'm gonna mess up...but I belong to Christ, now, since He bought and paid for me. He has put His spirit into me, to lead me and guide me...and to administer some discipline, when necessary.
I belong to Jesus, Who has promised that He will never leave me or forsake me.
I am assured.
I am content.
