Eternal Security: Can Christians Lose Their Salvation?
1 Peter 1:3-9: we see 4 statements of eternal security: A Living Hope!
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance [a]incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been [b]grieved by various trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 whom having not [c]seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.
1.(v. 3) Inheritance: Greek, teteremenen meaning reserved, it means the inheritance was made possible by Jesus Christ in the past ---and is now kept by Him until the time of delivery in the future.
(v.4) It is Incorruptible: never to decay ---- it is Undefiled: it is perfect and will never fade away. Being reserved in Heaven for you.
2. (V.5) We are Kept by God. This is a military term translated as “kept.” Phrouroumenous, meaning to mount a guard as a sentinel keeping watch which is in the present participle meaning we are guarded now while we, in faith, await our liberation from earthly death to the heavenly Kingdom.
3. Salvation (v.5) Soteria (rescue, safety, deliverance): is the same as Rom. 8:23, Rom. 13:11, speaking about the body being saved from corruption eternally.
4. (there are biblically 3 tenses of salvation)
a. We are saved from the penalty of sin which is death and Hell/ eternal separation from God. The Second death.
b. We are being saved through the sanctification process of the Holy Spirit that indwells us, conforming us to be more like Jesus as we mature as Christians.
c. We will be saved from the very presence of sin when we are glorified with Christ in Heaven revealing the completion of our salvation: “Glorification of the Believer.”
Jesus will accomplish our salvation. He will complete it! Not us…Our salvation is a living hope fixed on Christ.

God is pleased with me because He is pleased with His Son.
Phil 1:6 : “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
I cannot lose God because He cannot lose Me.
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. " Gal. 2:20
