About this episode
Dr. E discusses whether Ezekiel 33 teaches that one can lose their salvation, providing clarity on the passage in the context of the Bible's overarching message of grace.
Does Ezekiel 33 teach that you can lose your salvation? In this episode, Dr. E walks through a difficult Old Testament passage that often confuses both believers and skeptics. At first glance, it sounds like a righteous person can lose everything by sinning—or that a wicked person can earn their way back through good behavior. But is that really what Scripture is saying? Dr. Easley explains how this passage fits within the broader story of the Bible and why it doesn’t contradict the gospel of grace. You’ll see how both the Old and New Testaments consistently point to one truth: we are not saved by our works, but by God’s mercy alone. If you’ve ever struggled with questions about eternal security, felt like you had to “balance the scales” with God, or wondered how to explain salvation to a non-believer, this episode brings clarity and confidence straight from Scripture.
