Can a Christian lose his salvation? How do you know?

Answered by Gene Cunningham, Basic Training Bible Ministries · from The Basics, Lesson 1–3: The Provision—The Cross

No. When we believe, we 'stand' - the perfect tense of a stand taken once, with the result that we stand forever. Our salvation rests not on our grip on God but on Christ's finished work; Paul says we are saved now, and will be saved tomorrow, next year, and forever.

Also asked: How do I know my salvation is secure and can't be taken away? · Is it possible for a Christian to lose their salvation and why or why not according to the Bible? · Does the Bible say Christians can lose their salvation if they stop believing?
