In this message I tackle a doctrine that almost led me straight to hell: “once saved, always saved.” Yes—salvation is by grace alone, and we don’t earn it. But I’m speaking from lived experience: I used that teaching as permission to stay lawless. I literally told myself I could sell drugs all day and then pray at night, thinking grace meant there were no real consequences for willful sin. That mindset is deception, and it insults the Spirit of grace. I walk through Hebrews 10:26-31 and show how Scripture warns that if we sin willfully after receiving knowledge of the truth, we are trampling the Son of God underfoot and treating His blood like a common thing. I also connect this to Moses’ plea to be blotted out—proof a name can be removed—and to Ezekiel 33:13 and Ezekiel 18, where God makes it plain: a righteous person who turns to persistent iniquity will die, and his righteousness will not be remembered. My takeaway is simple: this is not about perfectionism—it’s about love. Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” End-time deception tells people they have more time, but you could take your last breath today. Don’t play with salvation—prepare for Christ’s return.
