Once saved, always saved.

Assurance Of Salvation or, Once Saved, Always Saved, is the gift, because man is corrupted and imperfect being, therefore cannot reach nor hold to perfection, except by the intervention of God.
Now, I believe it:

Can A Person Know For Sure That He is Saved
    and Will Go To Heaven When He Dies?
    (The Doctrine of Eternal Security)
    By Cooper Abrams
    1 John 5:13
            Introduction:   It is amazing and sad that so many churches deny the statement that "Once saved, always saved." The phrase is often called "Baptist heresy" by those false churches that teach that a person cannot know for sure if they are saved and if they are saved they may lose their salvation. The phrase states the biblical principle and truth that once a person, by faith believes and receives Jesus Christ as their Savior, they are eternally God's children and their salvation is assured.

Do you possess the assurance of salvation? Does that assurance grow to be a firm foundation for your entire life? If you do not have the assurance of personal salvation in Jesus Christ, why not? Is it because you, as a child of God, are slothful? Have you fallen into an inconsistent, sinful walk of life? Can you testify today to your own heart's satisfaction of the safety of your souls now and forever in Jesus Christ? Are you assured of pardon? Are you assured that you are one of His? Do you ask yourself these questions?

Assurance of personal salvation and belonging to Jesus Christ is not a fancy, it is not a feeling, and it is not the result of one's temperament. But it is the gift of the Holy Spirit. Assurance is the voice of a living faith in the believer testifying of personal pardon, confidence, of hope of eternal life, and the persuasion that I belong to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. ...............
