Understanding Forgiveness: Eternal Security and Grace

📖 Introduction

Forgiveness is a central theme in the Christian faith, emphasizing God’s grace and mercy towards humanity. It reflects God’s unchanging love and His desire for reconciliation with us. Yet, many believers wrestle with a challenging question: Can forgiveness be lost? This question touches on profound doctrines such as eternal security and the possibility of falling from grace.

The Bible teaches that when we receive forgiveness, it is by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This forgiveness is a gift that covers all our sins, past, present, and future, and offers us a restored relationship with God. However, the New Testament also contains warnings about the dangers of turning away from God, which leads to heated discussions about whether one can lose their forgiveness or eternal salvation.

Throughout this 7-day study, we will engage with Scripture to understand what the Bible says about forgiveness, eternal security, and the nature of grace. We will look at passages that affirm the permanence of God’s forgiveness and others that warn believers to remain steadfast lest they fall away. This study is designed to deepen your understanding, strengthen your faith, and encourage a balanced view grounded in God’s Word.

Let’s approach this study with open hearts and a desire to know God’s truth about forgiveness—both His offer of grace and the call to live faithfully in that grace. 📖🙏
