Once Saved, Always Saved
"Once Saved, Always Saved" is a theological belief primarily associated with some branches of Christianity. It suggests that once a person has genuinely accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, they cannot lose their salvation, regardless of future actions or beliefs. This doctrine emphasizes the permanence of God's grace and the assurance of eternal life for believers.
Proponents argue that salvation is a gift from God, not based on human effort, and therefore cannot be revoked. Critics, however, contend that this belief may lead to complacency in faith and moral behavior, raising questions about the importance of continued commitment to Christian teachings.
