 I recognize that this may be a subject that well-meaning Christians debate for many years to come.  At this point, however, this issue is settled in my heart.  As far as I can see in the Word of God, the One who gave me salvation as a gift has also promised that He won't be taking that gift back.  His promise is the same for you.  If you genuinely trust in Jesus, you will remain united to Him as part of His eternal family forever.

 Having been graced with this blessing, let us live lives that testify to the Lord's goodness to us.  With humility, let us admit that we are undeserving of this great blessing.  Let's continue to pray that the Holy Spirit will open the eyes, ears, and hearts of those who presently do not believe in Jesus so that they will learn to trust Him as well.  And as we serve Jesus with our lives, let's also rest in the peace of knowing He loves us just as much on our worst days as He does on our best days.
