Can a Christian lose salvation? Will believers who have drifted from the Lord be left behind at the Rapture? What happens to children if the Rapture occurs?

These questions weigh heavily on many believers, and Scripture provides answers that bring both assurance and hope.

In this Bible study, Scott Mitchell examines what the Bible teaches about the security of the believer, the Rapture of the Church, and God's mercy toward children. Looking carefully at passages such as 1 Thessalonians 4, Galatians 2, Ephesians 2 and 4, Matthew 18, and 2 Corinthians 4, Scott explains why salvation rests entirely upon the finished work of Jesus Christ—not human performance.

The lesson also addresses the difference between Israel's national salvation program and the gospel of the grace of God revealed through the Apostle Paul, helping believers rightly divide passages that are often misunderstood. Finally, Scott discusses what Scripture does—and does not—say about children, the age of accountability, and why Christians can trust God's perfect justice and mercy.

Whether you've struggled with doubts about your own salvation or have concerns for loved ones who seem far from the Lord, this study points back to the confidence found in Christ alone.
