Jeremy it just hit me like a bolt of lightning i am so excited about this thought that salvation has nothing to do with eternal life but is speaking of losing the ability to be an overcomer in Christ.Having been there as a carnal christian i always believed in Jesus but i felt i did
nt have the power to live a christian life so i felt like a hippocrite i was still subject to
sin and sinful desires.So in that sense i had never received salvation because i had never been an overcomer in the first place.So i can
see how a christian could lose there salvation having once walked by faith but that does
nt effect there eternal life in Christ.Just so others know i am now walking by faith and am an overcomer i know what it is like to experience the power of the holy spirit and to
not be overcome by my old nature that is what Jesus wants us all to experience rather than being a victim of the enemy.Whether we are an overcomer or
not does

not going to do it my way anymore and i submit to you because know whats best for me.Change me and when i feel the wrong desires or temptation to walk by the flesh i just say Lord you know i am weak and i can
not live a christian life without you help me.As soon as i do that it is effortless theres no struggle thats how we should grow.I am excited with what God is doing in my life he has opened his word i am
seeing the fruit of his life impacting mine and i am changing day by day.I am walking by faith and
not slipping back into my old desires i know what it means to be an overcomer
sin does
not have dominion over me anymore.In myself i can
not boast because it is the power of God at work in my life and i give all the praise back to God.brentnz
