I have noticed from previous notes in "Ask a Pastor" that your church teaches that one can lose their salvation.

Romans 12:1-8 teaches us that we need to be living sacrifices. We are to purposefully give our lives for God’s service and glory. If we chose to live for our own glory, we are disobeying God’s command through Paul. Being disobedient is sin. Sin leads to death. Death is the opposite of salvation. We have lost the gift through our choices. God wanted to hold us firmly in His hand. We have chosen something different.
