Romans 8:

[31] What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
[32] He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
[33] Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
[34] Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
[35] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
[36] As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
[37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ephesians 1:13-14, 4:30

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory....And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

2 Timothy 2:

[11] It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
[12] If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
[13] If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Acts 13:

[38] Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
[39] And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Ephesians 2:

[8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
[9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

John 10:

[27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
[28] And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
[29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
[30] I and my Father are one.

1 Corinthians 1:

[1] Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
[2] Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
[3] Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
[4] I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
[5] That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
[6] Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
[7] So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
[8] Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 6:

[9] Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
[10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
[11] And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

1.) Our salvation is IN CHRIST, not our own works. We are nto saved because of any work that we have done. So if we could lose our salvation then it would e because Christ somehow failed in some way. Our salvation is receiving Christ (John 1:12-13), if we could lose our salvation then it would be because of Christ, not us.

2.) We have already been forgiven ALL trespasses....therefore we cannot lose our salvation because of any trespass we have committed.

3.) Nothing can separate us from the love of God.

4.) We are sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption, which is the rapture and redeeming of our physical body (Rom. 8:23-24, 1 Cor. 15:51-58).

5.) We are members of Christ's body and He CANNOT deny Himself.

6.) We are justified and kept by Christ's faith, not our own (Gal. 2:16-21, Gal. 3:22, Phil. 3:9, Eph. 3:12, Rom. 3:22, 2 Tim. 2:13). 

7.) If on Saturday we believed on Christ and got eternal life , but then we "lost our salvation" on Sunday.....was the life we had really "eternal"? NO! We have "everlasting life", we can't lose something that is everlasting! (John 3:36)

8.) Such passages that say enduring to the end is a requirement for salvation are ALWAYS in the context of the gospel of the kingdom, not the gospel of the grace of God. They have to do with the 2nd coming and enduring to the end of the tribulation. (see all of Matthew 24)

9.) We are in God's hand and because of that we shall never perish. God is greater than ALL and so we have no worry about being plucked from His hand.

10.) As carnal and backslidden as the Corinthian church was, Paul still said that they were "sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints....the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you....Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ....ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God".
