Is Christ’s salvation revocable? There are many scriptures that mention things like the continuous cleansing of Christ blood upon us as we walk in Him. Still, is it possible to lose that connection? Is the doctrine of “One Saved, Always Saved” (OSAS) a Biblical one? Let’s see what we can find…

Matthew 10:22
You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

–Here Jesus makes it clear that salvation is for those who persevere.

***Here are a few scriptures that involve a very similar “IF” statement (emphasis added)***

1 Corinthians 15:1-2
Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, IF you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

Colossians 1:22-23
But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation —IF you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Hebrews 3:6
But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, IF indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory

Hebrews 3:14
We have come to share in Christ, IF indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.

Simply put, salvation is for those who persevere and nothing less. Is salvation revocable? Absolutely.
