Ephesians 2:8-9
F. B. Meyer wrote about two Germans who wanted to climb the Matterhorn. They hired three guides and began their ascent at the steepest and most slippery part.
The men roped themselves together in this order: guide, traveler, guide, traveler, guide.
They had gone only a little way up the side when the last man lost his footing. He was held up temporarily by the other four, because each had a toehold in the niches they had cut in the ice.
But then the next man slipped, and he pulled down the two above him. The only one to stand firm was the first guide, who had driven a spike deep into the ice.
Because he held his ground, all the men beneath him regained their footing. F. B. Meyer concluded his story by drawing a spiritual application.
He said, ''I am like one of those men who slipped, but thank God, I am bound in a living partnership to Christ. And because He stands, I will never perish.''

For others, you have been saved, but you're also haunted by the sin in your life and as a result, you doubt your salvation.
Perhaps you can recall a moment in your life when you repented of your sin and trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior... but now, looking back, you can also recall moments and seasons in your life where you've slipped and fallen in your walk with Christ...
...and because of those moments and those seasons, you question if God really saved you... and if He did save you, you wonder if your sin has caused you to lose your salvation.
Last week, we began addressing the question: Can I lose my salvation?
