Some believe that once a person accepts Jesus Christ as Savior, their salvation is forever assured—often called “eternal security” or “once saved, always saved.” But does the Bible actually teach this?

A common proof text is John 10:27-29, where Jesus says His sheep hear His voice and no one can snatch them from His or the Father’s hand. However, this speaks of external threats, not personal rejection of God. The verbs “hear” and “follow” are in the present tense, showing an ongoing relationship. Jesus wasn’t addressing unconditional salvation, but the identity of His followers as those who actively listen and obey.

Many other scriptures show salvation is conditional. Jesus said, “He who endures to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13). Paul cautioned that believers must “hold fast” to avoid having “believed in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:2), and even admitted the possibility of his own disqualification (1 Corinthians 9:27).

Hebrews warns of falling away after receiving the truth (Hebrews 6:4-6; 10:26-27), and Revelation urges believers to “hold fast” so that no one takes their crown.

God promises never to forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), but the Bible also shows we can choose to forsake Him. Our security lies in continuing to walk with Him—to hear, follow, endure, and overcome to the end.
