If salvation is the gift of God, why would He ever take it away? If He did, it was never really a gift?

Question

I quote "For if we become faithless, He remaineth faithful, He cannot deny Himself." So to become faithless, you must have had faith to begin with. Grace means undeserved favor. So if salvation is undeserved, how can it be taken away when I fail, I couldn't earn it in the first place right?

Answer 1

Yes sir, once saved always saved.
Anyone that denounces Jesus never really
knew him in the first place.
He keeps us straight not us.
I believe that.

Answer 2

It's a gift for you to receive and keep. God does not take it away. Man throws it away, unthinking.

Jud 1:5 For even though you know all this, I want to remind you of how the Lord once rescued the people of Israel from Egypt, but afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

The Israelites were God's chosen people, yet he destroyed those who sinned. Because of salvation/grace, there is a way to God, but it does not mean God pushes aside his judgement for what we do in full knowledge.

Man throws it away. Yet it's still their for the taking.

Answer 3

O Bible Believers, why not you reveal your god that Jesus has paid the price of your crimes and sins?
Most of culprits, sinners, alcoholic, adulterous and transgressor Christians are being afflicted with painful torments like STD (Sexually transmitted diseases) including AIDS, Hepatitis. Why not you tell your god that Jesus has paid the price and do not afflict us due out sins, crimes and transgressions??? Or your sins, crimes and transgressions exceeded than price paid by Jesus?????

Savior
I, even I, am Yahweh; and beside me there is no savior…a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me” (43:11; 45:21).

Does Bible refuse to accept the Jesus as ‘Savior’ and rejects the concept of ransom of Christians’ sins and crimes?
Ezekiel 18:20. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

James2:24. Ye see then how that by works a man is just

Matthew 19:16-17. "And behold, one came up to him, saying, "Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?" "And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments."

Jas 2:26. "Faith without works is Dead"

Proverbs 21:18. “The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, and the faithless for the upright”

Answer 4

Now you see the illogicalness inherent in the system. The problem with believing in God is that you keep having to ask yourself 'why' when terrible things happen. Also if you believe in God, it messes with the wiring of your brain. Logic no longer applies, magical thinking is the answer. This is dangerous. Give up your belief in God, only then will you become truly human.

Atheists say lets not build a church, lets build a hospital instead.

Answer 5

Once you truly accept Jesus, then salvation is next. May be sometime you will have some difficult time and want to give up salvation... But God will always bring you back. He promised.

Good luck and God bless

Answer 6

Salvation is offered, but there will many that will not accept it and even more that choose it and don't follow through. Which would mean to repent and accept Christ as his/her Savior. We can't blame God for our sinful behavior.

God Bless

Answer 7

If I give you a present and you take it but later put it down and ignore it as other things have drawn your attention have you been given the gift? Is it still yours if you would come back to get it?

Answer 8

Salvation is not a gift it is something you earn by living a good life.

Answer 9

salvation is free gift..the issue in us ..we don`t accept this gift..it is our fault not god`s

Answer 10

That is a very, very good question to which I have no answer, for I am an atheist.
