Omega, we meet again...
Yes, once saved, always saved.
"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 10:28.
"My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." John 10:29.
God doesn't let go of you.... ( any Chirstian).... can let go of God and walk in the Ways of this world. slipping away from God, His Word and His Ways.
Lets get the word "Backsliding" in the correct definition, shall we?
Backsliding means: you never front slid in the beginning.
As for Christians..........
Christians CAN and get caught up in the ways of this world so much that the last thing on their "to do list" is to ACKNOWLEDGE Jehovah God. & Pray to Him, obsorb themselves into HIS Word. and Walk in HIS Ways and no longer their own.
They can be forgiven....
Remember........
"For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief." Proverbs 24:16.
The word, " just" in Proverbs 24:16. Means: Righteous
A Chirstian can fall.......but can sincerely ask Lord Jesus for forgiveness & ( with Lord Jesus Help) get right back up again and dust their selves off and keep on a truckin. { Righteously } not letting that down fall become another mistake.
Show Jesus is God and Jesus is Good IN All Ways.
Keep the Faith and God Bless ...
