Once saved always saved

John 6:39- 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day

English Standard Version Chapter 8

29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

English Standard Version Chapter 1

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ

2. It is possible to lose one’s salvation

English Standard Version Chapter 6

For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt

English Standard Version Chapter 5

4 You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace

Judas Iscariot

Grandma example

What does this all mean?

Is it possible? Can people fall away? If they do will they come back if saved? If they dont what does this say?

English Standard Version Chapter 2

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.
