Randy Alcorn once asked a group of students if they believed that a person could lose their salvation or not. He then proceeded to divide them into two groups, those that did and those that didn't. He then gave each group a list of Scriptures to study but what he didn't let them know was that the two groups had different scripture references. The group that said that did believe that a person could lose salvation he gave verses on eternal security while to the group that didn't believe you could lose your salvation he gave verses that warned against coming short. Much of scripture has that tension and we must not use our doctrinal bias to filter scripture but that we would check our doctrinal biases by Scripture. One thing that is important for us to remember is that we must always view human choice through the lens of the sovereignty of God.
