Matthew 7:21-23 "21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
No one who has been changed into a new creation by Christ will lose what He did in us. Nothing He does in us can be undone by man.
Ephesians 1:13-14
"13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise, 14 who is a first installment of our inheritance, in regard to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.
Those who have walked away from Christ after declaring that they were a Christian and those who spread a false gospel and twist the scripture to fool people were never born again, they are pretenders sent by the devil to confuse and disarm the people of God from their calling.
Ephesians 2:10
"10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
Anyone who thinks they are keeping their own salvation by their own goodness does not understand the sacrifice Christ made on the cross. We as humans do not have the ability to be good enough to save ourselves, what makes us think we can die for our own sin when the perfect Lamb of God had to do it for us.
When we become born again we are given the Holy Spirit to guide us, clean us up and keep us from sin, our desire to sin has been removed from us and replaced with the Spirit of God. We live in a sinful body so we battle the flesh but our Spirit is that of Christ and will never be anything else.
