Jesus says nobody can take us of the father,so we are safe,only we with free will can lose our salvation.

Sin is a choice against God.

He who endures to the end will be saved.

The condition is enduring in Grace to the end of our lives.

Amen my friend, endure and overcome.
Since we are in the flesh we have to endure and if we fall short we repent and overcome. I am not saying here that we keep on sinning and keep on repenting. This is different.

Thats what I meant in my 4th para of my 1st post in this topic.

Thank you all for your replies. I suppose that having done a thorough reading and studying of the Scriptures, I came away beleving that not only am I "hidden in Christ" but that I am "sealed" by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption, and therefore, unable to lose my salvation.

I am encouraged by David who asked the Lord to restore to him the joy of his salvation. He did not ask to be saved again, but was affirming that his sin did not cause a separation betwee God and himself, and was also affirming that his sin had caused him pure misery. No doubt we ALL can relate to that. (NOTE: While sin does not separate us from God, it DOOES cause the fellowship to be broken until we repent and turn away from the sin; but because we are hidden in Christ, if we die without confessing that sin we will still go to heaven by the Grace of God.)

Your posts have provided me some new insights and new things to pray about. Thank you for handling this topic with Christian love. I believe, from the posts I read on this or any other topics that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ, and I am thrilled to fellowship with you and provide encouragement to you. I am fairly new to this message board, but let me introduce myself. I am Gwen, Child of God. I am 68 years old. I have been a widow now for nearly 15 years and have three children, 10 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren. You may call me by Gwen. Jesus calls me Gwen.

God bless you all.
