There are many these days who are preaching that one must be good to keep the salvation they did not earn. They claim that eternal security in Christ is a heresy, these preachers are heretics, bringing false doctrine, while promoting pride in those who think they are "good enough" to stay saved by their own efforts.
NO, loss of salvation is a damnable heresy, it denies the sufficiency of Christ's death on the cross, as though His sacrifice was not enough we must add our silly little nothing works to it to make is better. That is down right silly.
We could not save ourselves through our own works, nor can we keep ourselves by our works.
Either God did it all on the cross or He did none of it.
Ephesians 2:8-9 " 8For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not by works, so that no one can boast.…"
Isaiah 64:6 " 6 For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. "
Ephesians 2:9-10 "…9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life."
Anyone who thinks they are keeping their salvation by being good, has not trusted Christ but remains trusting in themselves.
