There are many confusing and misunderstood views in the modern religious world about how a person is saved, or how they gain eternal life. This is the single most important thing in the entire world, so it is imperative that we know God’s plan for salvation so that we can spend eternity in Heaven. Make no mistake about this fact: we are saved by the Grace of our God. We are sinners and in no way deserve to be saved from our sins, nor can we ever earn our salvation. The only reason we have any hope of Heaven is because God is gracious...

In our bible classes over the last few weeks we have been discussing the idea of “once saved always saved.” This doctrine, which we will refer to as “OSAS” in this article, has been widely taught throughout the religious community as fact largely based on two New Testament passages. The first of these is John 10:27-29 in which Jesus himself declares that no one can snatch any of his sheep from his hand, and the second is Romans 8:38-39 where Paul declares that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Both of these passages teach truth and...

Last Monday evening Karla and I visited Backwoods Christian Camp to celebrate the 4th of July with Christian friends. Each week there is a spiritual theme that is the topic of the Bible classes, evening sermons, and devotionals at camp, and this week’s theme was “live like you were dying.” If this sounds familiar, it was the title of a 2004 Tim McGraw song that was dedicated to his late father and ended up being very successful. I doubt, however, that we really ever stopped to understand and embrace the idea of really taking advantage of every moment we...
