Those Who Will Not Confess are not Saved

I am running into more and more people who think a Christian can lose their salvation because they have sinned, very disturbing.

When Christ changes someone into a new creation the old is gone forever and they are sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise as a guarantee of their salvation, no one can break that seal, we belong to the King. If someone's life has not changed dramatically after they claim to be a Christian or it changed for a time and they went back then they were never saved. They were trying in their own flesh to be good enough. God will not change anyone who thinks they can do it themselves. He will only change those who want to be changed by Him.

 
If sin could cause us to lose our salvation then the following verses would be meaningless.

1 John 2:1-2 "1My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father— Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.…"

Hebrews 7:25
Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.

Hebrews s12:5-7 "…5And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. 6For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.” 7Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?…"

God does not throw away or reject those whom He loves! But He does discipline them to cause them to return to obedience.

 
Here is His formula for this:

 
1 John 1:9
"9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Confessing our sin to be cleansed is God's way of growing us in holiness. Those who will not confess will not grow or change.

 
Those who refuse to admit they have sinned and enjoy their sin have never been born again.

 
1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,

1 John 2:3-5
"By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:"
