Kept for Jesus: What the New Testament Really Teaches about Assurance of Salvation and Eternal Security

Can Christians lose their salvation?

This question has perplexed--and distressed--believers for centuries. When faced with our sin and shortcomings, sometimes we're tempted to conclude that we've strayed too far and that God no longer loves us.

In Kept for Jesus, pastor Sam Storms addresses common concerns that Christians have related to their eternal security, offering hope and assurance from the Bible. Examining every New Testament passage that speaks to this important issue, this book charts a biblical course between those who say that Christians can lose their salvation and those who carelessly declare, "Once saved, always saved."

• Examines every New Testament passage related to assurance, perseverance, and eternal security
• Addresses classic "problem" passages that are often cited in support of the idea that Christians can lose their salvation
• Argues for a middle ground between the uncertainty of Arminianism and the carelessness of antinomianism
