Can Someone Lose Their Salvation?

Salvation is another word for adoption—we are adopted by our Heavenly Father. Think about it this way: your child will always be your child, no matter what he or she does, right? Even when they're wayward, they’re still your children. In the same way, when we are saved—through faith alone, by grace alone, through Christ alone—we are adopted into the Heavenly family.

Our Heavenly Father does not disown us when we fail. Oh, He disciplines us, He chastises us, and He brings us back into the fold when we repent, but He doesn’t disown us. That’s the whole idea of being saved.

It’s not just “once saved, always saved” as a phrase—it means that being saved is being adopted into the family. Now, there are some people who pretend to be saved, but they’re not truly saved. That’s why, when others see people who seem to go through the motions and then return to their former life, they say, “Oh, that means a person who’s saved can lose their salvation.”

No—they were never saved to begin with. I hope this is helpful.
