Question
I confessed jesus nine months ago (about). I worry a lot over weather I am or will be saved. How can someone lose their salvation? Is this a normal thing to fear.

Answer
Kitty,

I understand how you feel and it is very normal. The confession of faith is often met with confusion and doubt. I would encourage you to bring these to the attention to someone that was there when you were saved. I have confessed my faith many times over even though I know that it is once saved always saved. The only sin that is unforgiven is the blaspheme the Holy Spirit. I do not believe that you can loose your salvation. I do believe that if you confess Christ but really do not mean it and your life does not reflect that you have given your life to Christ then did you ever really have the salvation. You are the only one who can answer this because you know if you truly confessed Christ and have given your life to the service of the Gospel. I want you to get a daily devotion and spend even 5 minutes a day just reading your Bible. This will also help you to better understand your beliefs and to get closer to Christ.
