Book #52: Can I Lose My Salvation? by R.C. Sproul
Can I Lose My Salvation? by R.C. Sproul
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The idea of being able to lose your salvation after becoming Christian is one that has caused a lot of debate in the church throughout history, and R.C. Sproul provides a comprehensive answer here, using Judas Escariot as a prime examples of someone who ended up "falling away".
Having known some Christians who have left the church, and not (to my knowledge) returned, I was intrigued by how the book would answer this, and one of the answers seemed to be that maybe these people never truly believed in the first place. I was a little surprised that the book did not mention Jesus' Parable of the Sower, which mentions some people who do hear the word, and then get distracted by the worries of the world.
Most of this book instead was an essay on how God gives us perseverence, and at the end it raised the most important part of Christianity: Jesus as "our Great High Priest".
Overall, the book felt a little theologically heavy, but I loved it.
