Marking Code: AS
Marking Color: Red
Key Text: Galatians 5:4
1.
Galatians 5:4. The question
is: Can a person who has received
salvation and God’s gift of
eternal life fall from grace and be
lost? Paul says clearly that it is
possible. A person may fall from
grace.
2.
Hebrews 3:8-15. Having once
known God’s truth does not
prevent a person from hardening his
or her heart against it and rebelling
against God.
3.
Hebrews 6:4-6. Once a person
backslides by persistently rejecting
God, it is difficult-almost
impossible-to regain a saved
relationship with Him.
4.
Hebrews 12:15. The Bible
clearly warns that we can “fall
short of the grace of God.”
5.
2 Peter 2:20,21. The bible says
that it is better for a person never
to have known the way of
righteousness than to go back to a
life of slavery to sin after having
known Christ.
6.
Ezekiel 18:24,26. When a
righteous person falls from grace,
none of his or her former
righteousness and obedience is taken
into account. Apart from grace, he or
she will die for the sins committed.
7.
1 John 2:3,4. If a person
claims to be saved by grace and yet
ignores the law and his need to be
obedient to God’s will, he is a
“liar” and has no truth in
him.
Romans 6:1,2.
8.
Hosea 14:4. God wants to heal
our backsliding. If we repent, He
will always forgive. Yes, a person
can fall from grace by repeatedly
disobeying God or deliberately
turning away from Him. However, God
will always accept sincere
repentance-and forgive.
