It is much easier to be saved than we were taught, and much harder to lose it.

Another excellent thought!
I wonder how many times we sin unknowingly? How many times we offend God without even realizing it?
Grace = unmerited favor.
That is no license to sin. In fact, His grace should produce a spirit of gratitude in us, and a love so strong that we want to please Him instead of pleasing ourselves.

Re: How easy is it to Lose Salvation?
If you live in terror, worrying about Hell, even though you're a Christian, what's the use?

Does it depend what sin it is? Like could one be unrepentant about molesting and still be saved?

The emotional trigger.
I think it'd surprise us how God sees molesters and us in comparison. We'd probably hate the nasty similarities.
Unrepented molesters... not sure molesting "just happens." One has turned away from living for God and they've been living for themselves for awhile. But still, we speculate.

He sees His children through the blood of his Son, Jesus Christ. But we cannot live in sin and walk with a Holy God. Sin is an anathema to him.

But, by His grace and mercy he reconciles us to Himself.

I agree. I also think it's anathema to a child that's His.

Isn't most all sin is living for themselves?
