Can ones salvation ever be "lost"?

[Isaiah45_9]

Philippians 3:

8 Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, based on law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith; 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that if possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

Pressing toward the Goal

12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.** 13 Brethren, I do not consider that I have made it my own**; but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who are mature be thus minded; and if in anything you are otherwise minded, God will reveal that also to you. 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained.

This passage here has always been an eye opener for me, to strive in humbleness and to not be complacent in my beliefs and my attitude towards the Goal.

If Paul, at this point in his ministry, feels this way… I have a long way to go.

**forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. **

Let’s keep pressing on!

Peace,

Jose

Glad to see these verses here in this thread – when I heard them yesterday at Mass, this is the exact topic I was thinking of. Great work Jose!
