Can a Christian lose his salvation?

This is an important question and what you believe will shape your view about the love of God and the nature of salvation itself. There are quite a number of Christians who believe from the depth of their hearts that salvation is not eternal, for them it can be lost. But is it true that salvation can be lost as many people out there affirm? Other brethren also are of the opinion that a born again christian cannot lose his or her salvation. For them they believe, if you are in Christ Jesus, God will not suffer you to be ever separated from his love. Is their belief about the eternalness of salvation in unison with what God's word teaches? The best and only way we can find out the answer to this question is simply to look into the scriptures.  Salvation is eternal  It is clear from the scriptures that salvation is eternal: And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation-- Hebrews 5; 9  If salvation in itself is eternal, the...

Is the priesthood of all believers true?

Beloved in Christ, is it true that all believers are priests unto God? The answer to this important theological question can only be found in the holy scriptures. Let us see what the bible have to say about this question. Who is a priest?  A priest in biblical times, was the one who acted as a mediator between God and the children of Israel. The priests were mandated to represent the people before God, but among the priests, it was only the high priest who was given the exclusive privilege to enter within the veil into the Holy of Holies to represent the people before God.

But God's original intent was that the entire nation will be a kingdom of priests unto him, but they failed (Exodus 19; 5-6). The old testament priesthood served as a type of the priesthood of Christ. Jesus Christ came as a pri...

What does it mean, to live is Christ and to die is gain?

Beloved in Christ, this question is an important one, and am glad to give you a biblical answer. The text itself can be found in, Philippians 1; 21 and it reads: "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain". Many of us have been focusing on the second part of the verse at the expense of the first, but both are equally important. As we are here on this side heaven, we are to endeavor to live for Christ, and when the day comes for us to lay aside this earthly tabernacle (Flesh), it shall be to our own benefit. For to me, to live is Christ means what? For to live is Christ means that we are to live our lives not for our own selves, but for Christ. It means we are to completely submit our lives to the will and precepts of Christ. Our lives must seek to bring honor and glory to the name of Christ. Whatever we do must all be geared towards the glorification of Christ. To live for Christ means we must preach the gospel. As Christians, let us spend and be spent in the cause o...
