One who has been changed into a new creation and sealed with the Holy Spirit by God can never change back into the old creation again.
When God said "depart from me, I NEVER knew you" He was referring to those who thought they were going to heaven but were never born-again.
Most "Christians," today think they are saved but they have never trusted Christ. They attend church but do not love Him. They love the idea of being safe, having companions, and appearing good to those around them but they do not have the fruit of the Spirit.
Galatians 5:22-23
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
They are still full of self, rebellious against God's Word and are without Christ-like love. These people have never been changed by Christ.
God will never change a person who does not want to be changed by Him. Those who say they are Christians and go to church every week but have no fruit have never been born again.
THINK ABOUT IT
For a Christian to lose their salvation,
God would have to erase the mark on the Christian, withdraw His Spirit, cancel the deposit, break His Eternal promise, lie, revoke the guarantee, remove the gift, and keep His Inheritance.
If eternal life was not eternal, it would be called, "temporal life."
[John 3:16] says,
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in Him shall not perish but have ETERNAL LIFE."
