Are you sure you're saved?

Judgment is yet ahead of all of us.

We must not comfort ourselves with misapplied scritpures to give false comfort while at the same time we're NOT keeping His commandments and walking in the light. To do so is to DISPELL the fear of God...the beginning of wisdom. The Word for the whole duty of man is: "Fear God AND keep His commandments."

On the other hand...BE COMFORTED in your heart if it does not condemn you. You then can have confidence toward God. I too am DETERMINED to hold out to the end. Jesus is with me on Him I can depend...BUT so long as I HOLD OUT to the end.

Let's keep some balance here lest some reading these posts assume we are of the eternal security persuasion. Not so! Salvation can be forfeited and often IS forfeited.

Please show me or quote me who in this thread was advocating your salvation can't be forfeited.

Saying I KNOW I am saved, right here and right now does NOT advocate OSAS.

And please show how any scripture was misused
