Can you lose your salvation? If you can, what were you saved from? If not, then what about apostates? In this episode of FFOZ Reacts!, Jacob Fronczak reflects on a conversation on Unashamed with Jase Robertson about John 10:28–29, analyzing the assumptions behind the questions, affirming that a salvific relationship with God is not transactional, and advocating for a response to the gospel message that stays true to Jesus’ warning that many will fall away from the path.
