Eternal salvation:

A. You can never lose it, even if you make mistakes and fall-

providing you continue with Jesus and repent:

for the Lord unholdeth him with His hand

B. But the Lord will chasten you  for wrongdoing:

My lovingkindness will I not utterly take away
Heb.12:5-8 Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and

The results of being born again:

A. Spiritual rebirth makes you a new creature:
Jn.3:3b Except a man be born again, he cannot see Kingdom
Mat.18:3 Be converted and become as little children
Jn.1:13 Born, not of blood, nor of the will of man, but of God
Rom.12:2a Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind
2Cor.5:17 If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature
1Pet.1:23 Born again, not of corruptible seed, but...by the Word of God

B. You will desire to work for Jesus:
Eph.2:10 We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works
Tit.2:14 (Jesus) gave Himself for us (to) purify unto Himself a

peculiar people, zealous of good works
(See also Eph.4:21-24; Col.3:8-10; Tit.3:8; Jam.2:18.)

Sin brings about spiritual death; but Jesus died in
our place, taking our punishment:

Isa.59:1 Your iniquities have separated you and your God
Rom.6:23 The wages of (penalty for) sin is death
Rom.5:8 While we were sinners, Christ died for us
2Cor.5:21 He hath made Him (Jesus) to be sin for (in place of) us
1Jn.1:9 If we confess our sins, He [will] forgive and cleanse us
1Jn.2:1,2 We have an advocate...Jesus Christ. He is the

propitiation for...the sins of the whole world

In the Mosaic law, blood is payment for sin;

Jesus' death paid that price in full:

Lev.17:11 It is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul
Heb.9:22 Without shedding of blood is no remission [of sin]
Mat.26:28 My blood...shed for the remission of sins
1Jn.1:7 The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin
Jn.1:29 The Lamb of God, which taketh away sin of the world
Eph.1:7 We have redemption through His blood, the

forgiveness of sins (See also 1Jn.2:12)
1Pet.1:18,19 Ye were redeemed...with the precious blood of Christ

All men are not saved sons of God in their natural state:

Eph.2:2,3,12 Ye were children of disobedience, children of wrath,

aliens and strangers without Christ
Mat.7:13 Wide is the gate...that leadeth to destruction, and many... go in thereat
Jn.3:19 Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light
Jn.8:44 Ye are of your father the devil
Jn.8:47 Ye hear (God's Words) not, because ye are not of God

The self-righteous refuse Jesus' salvation:

(See Mat.5:20; 9:10-13; 21:31b; Lk.18:9-14;

Jn.5:39-44; Rom.10:3; 1Jn.1:9,10.)

(See also Acts 6:8-14; 7:57-60; 8:1-4; 26:9-11.)
