Once Saved Always Saved

I am aware that many people believe that they can lose their salvation. True believers of God believe that they can never lose their salvation. This is because Jesus said in John 11:26-26  "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"

Jesus said that if you are alive, and believe in him, you will go to heaven. The scripture said they "shall never die". Once you are saved you are forever sealed by the Holy Ghost.

Ephesians 4:20 reads,  "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."

 He did not say "unto the day of apostasy" or "unto the day of not going to church" or "unto the day you stop repenting of your sins". He said, "unto the day of redemption".

 2 Timothy 2:13 reads,

 "If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself."

 Even if we were so stop believing, God said that we still have eternal life, "he cannot deny himself".

We as the children of God have eternal life and nothing can take it away. Eternal means never ending or never terminating. A synonym the Bible uses for eternal is everlasting. So if God were to take away our salvation based on our works, that would not be eternal life as it says in John 10:28-29

 "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."

No matter what we do, if we believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, we are saved. John 6:47 reads, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life."

The word "hath" is present tense, meaning that you have eternal life now, not when you get to heaven. The Holy Spirit is living and abiding in you from the moment you believe. 

Titus 1:2 says, 

 "In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;"

 If we for any reason are able to lose our salvation, then God is a liar. He promised salvation to us before the world began; to those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God, trusting in his death, burial, and resurrection to get them to heaven instead of their good works.
 Salvation is available to you today if you believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
