08/23/2026 Asking For A Friend | Can I Lose My Salvation?
John 10:27-30
Your salvation is not secured by the strength of your grip on Jesus, but by the strength of His grip on you.
What it means to belong to the Shepherd:
1. Salvation begins with Jesus. v27a Jesus found us, we didn’t find Him. See John 6:44 & John 4:19
2. Eternal life is Jesus’ promise toHis sheep. v28 See Romans 6:23; 8:38-39.
3. Our sin cannot undo what the Cross accomplished. v29 See Heb 10:12; Romans 8:1; Col 2:14; Phil 1:6 …But Jesus…
4. Genuine salvation produces genuine change v27b See Eph 2;8; 2 Cor 5:17. The fruit of your life reveals what has taken root in your heart. Is there evidence your life of spiritual life in Jesus?
The better question is “Who is keeping you saved?” You, or Jesus?
So, how do we respond?
1. Stop looking at yourself for assurance.
2. When you fail, run to Jesus. See 1 John 1:9
3. Rest is His grip.
