Re: Once Saved Always Saved
1 John 3:7-10
Little children, let no one LEAD you ASTRAY; the one practicing righteousness is righteous, JUST AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS. The one who practices sin is OF THE DEVIL, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the WORKS of the devil. Anyone born of God REFUSES to practice sin, because God's SEED abides in him; he CANNOT go on sinning, BECAUSE he has been born of God. Through this, the children of God and the children of the devil are MANIFEST: anyone not practicing righteousness is NOT OF GOD, and also the one not loving his brother.
