Are some chosen (predestined) to eternal salvation and others to eternal condemnation? The 16th-century Reformer John Calvin wrote: “We define predestination as the eternal design of God, whereby he determined what he wanted to do with each man. For he did not create them all in the same condition but foreordains some to everlasting life and others to eternal damnation.”
Waiting on God is active faith—obedience, prayer, endurance, and hope anchored in Jehovah, the God of our salvation through Christ.
Investigate if the Bible supports universal salvation through detailed scriptural analysis, examining key verses and their contexts.
In the history of interpretation, 1 Peter 3:21, especially as part of 3:18-22, is considered one of the more difficult passages in Scripture.
Stop trying to save yourself. Salvation is Jehovah’s gift through Christ’s ransom, received by faith and lived out in obedient endurance.
This shows that there is no such doctrine as ‘Once saved, always saved.’ After we accept Jesus as our Savior and Redeemer and dedicating our lives to God, we have only entered the path to salvation, not finished the race.
There is no other doctrine that has been so hotly debated in the last 2,000 years. Christians have literally killed Christians for believing differently. All other Christian doctrines have several different views. This is not the case with the Trinity doctrine, if one ever so slightly gets of course from the orthodox view, it is tantamount to heresy.
“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”—Philippians 1:6.
WORK is the subject of this text. The world is full of busywork; the din of toil and the hum of the industry is ever in our ears. But there is another work. Simultaneous with this work of the world, mingling with it, but rising above it in grandeur and importance, is another work—a divine work—a work for the salvation of souls.
Salvation, according to Scripture, requires enduring faith and obedience, opposing the belief of “once saved, always saved” theology.
Biblical salvation is the divine act of delivering humanity from sin through faith in Jesus Christ, requiring repentance and obedience.
