I have always been curious about the issue of once saved always saved vs. the possibility of losing your salvation and I have always had a hard time with the issue. On the one hand, how does God possibly lose someone who he has called to himself, who has made a decision to place him as their Lord and Savior? On the other hand, if you make the decision to accept Jesus's sacrifice and commit your life to him, doesn't that give you the right to deny it just the same as you accepted it?
There are many people who claim to have an answer to this question, this dilemma, but I just am not sure I can buy one answer or the other. But there has been a book released that is dealing with this issue...in a way. The King Jesus Gospel by Scot McKnight is a book that I have recently begun to read. The bigger issue, behind once saved always saved, is the issue of the Gospel. What exactly is the Gospel, and is our method of conversion doing the Gospel justice?
The questions are what I want to look at over the next few weeks. I want to present my take on what Scot McKnight is writing about, and my thoughts definitely do not represent McKnight's thoughts or anyone elses; my thoughts are my own. This is basically an exercise for me to read and think "out loud" on theology. If you want to read, have at it.
