WHAT CAN THE BELIEVER LOSE?

If you have trusted in Christ alone and you can't lose your salvation, you still can lose (through carnality)…

  1. your REWARD in heaven. (1 Cor. 3:15; 9:27; 2 Tim. 4:6-8; 2 John 1:8))
  2. your FELLOWSHIP with God. (1 John 1:3-10; Luke 15:11-24)
  3. your JOY (Psalm 51:12) and the FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT in your walk. (Galatians 5:16, 22-23)
  4. your DIRECTION/MEANING/PURPOSE/CAPACITY in life. (Mark 8:34-38)
  5. your TESTIMONY & MINISTRY to others. (Matthew 5:10-16; Phil. 2:13-16)
  6. your SPIRITUAL EYESIGHT and ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE. (2 Peter 1:2-9b)
  7. your ASSURANCE and PURPOSE of salvation. (2 Peter 1:9-11)
  8. your practical VICTORY over the world. (2 Peter 2:18-22)
  9. your spiritual STABILITY and GROWTH. (2 Peter 3:17-18)
  10. your FAITH (2 Timothy 2:13) and biblical BELIEFS. (2 Timothy 3:12-4:4)

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. (1 Corinthians 3:11-15)
