But instead that it is Jesus and God who maintain it, and as long as we don't give up and walk away, we are saved. Because nothing can pluck us from the Fathers hand, and he is greater than all. There are some exceptions like blaspheming the Holy Spirit directly in our hearts or through our mouth, but that is kind of like giving up.
That said we should definitely confess our sins, repent and strive to live holy lives. Do not choose sin over God! Because He will chastize every son whom he receives, and I am living proof of it. Don't mess around with God and sin. But the fact that He chastized me pretty severely also means that He loves me. And I accept His correction.
I just had this realization while driving in my car, on my way home from a church event. I was thinking that I am going to hell because I had had some pretty bad thoughts about denying Christ and I thought that my next life will be worse than my current life. But I felt something in me saying no, a physical feeling. And always when I have been in a rough spot and had thoughts of giving up, something in me just doesn't want to do it. I believe that's the Holy Spirit.
I will never give up on God and He is more faithful than me, He really is not looking for any excuse to damn me but instead wants me to be in heaven with Him more than I want to be in heaven.
Also what really defiles a man is what comes out of their mouth, and what comes out of their mouth usually comes from their heart. That does not include what you accidentally say, I've said some pretty bad things accidentally and felt that God forgave me. Like yesterday I meant to say "I will never leave God" or something like that, and I said by mistake "I will never believe God".
So just keep up the good fight and rest in God's grace when you stumble. I have stumbled many times but God has always been there to catch me. His grace truly has no limits and His mercy endureth for ever.
This is just based on my knowledge of scripture and my personal experience. Maybe someone in here needed to hear this because I felt led to write it.
All glory to God! Praise God!
