Romans 35 Can You Lose Your Salvation?

The sermon presents a powerful, systematic defense of eternal security rooted in Romans 8:31–39, emphasizing that believers are eternally secure because God has already declared them righteous, justified, and glorified in His eternal plan. It unpacks the theological foundation of election not as a predetermined selection of individuals for salvation, but as a relational reality in Christ, where believers are chosen because they are in the 'chosen one'—Jesus—whose sacrifice and resurrection secure their standing before God. The passage argues that nothing—neither tribulation, persecution, nor even death—can separate believers from God's love, as Christ's death, resurrection, and ongoing intercession provide a legal and spiritual defense that nullifies any charge. The sermon refutes the idea of losing salvation by demonstrating that justification is a permanent, legal declaration based on faith alone, not works, and that Scripture consistently affirms the permanence of salvation through Christ's finished work, rejecting misinterpretations of verses used to suggest loss of salvation. Ultimately, the message calls for a deep, confident trust in God's faithfulness, grounded in the unchanging nature of His promises and the finished work of Christ.
