So there are so many people that will tell you
that salvation is a process,
but the Bible proves that to be false.
It actually says this in Ephesians 1, verses 13 and 14,
in whom you also trusted.
After that, you heard the word of truth,
the gospel of your salvation,
and whom also after that you believed.
You were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
which is the earnest of our inheritance
until the redemption of the purchased possession
unto the praise of his glory.
So it's telling you right there,
the moment you believe on Jesus Christ
by putting all your trust, all your faith in him,
you're sealed with the Holy Spirit of God.
You're sealed, that's it.
It's a done deal, and it's a one-time thing.
It's not a process.
You can't lose it and get it back
and keep losing it by bad behavior
because salvation is not of ourselves.
It is the gift of God, not of works,
lest any man should boast.
