Romans 6:16 "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness ?"
I believe that this Bible verse explains everything, from Adam & Eve to the Mark of the Beast scenerio, soon to come, before Jesus Christ comes again the 2nd time.
From Genesis to Revelation....has been the efforts of God, to bring mankind back, into obedience, to what He says to do.
To trust that God knows, what is best for you....even if you cannot see anything good, in the near future.
Satan's main efforts has been to keep mankind in DISobedience, to God's commandments....as revealed in Revelation 12:17.
OSAS (Once Saved, Always Saved) is satan's main deception to undermine God's Authority.
With the OSAS concept, which satan used against Adam & Eve in the garden of Eden, the impressional attitude was: 'disobey God, as it really will not effect your standing with Him, in the least'.
Satan's use of this 'doctrine' has been EXTREMELY successful throughout the history of mankind....in its many different forms.
The very essense of Romans 6:16 shows that there is no such thing as OSAS.
There is only obedience & disobedience.
Those are the only 2 roads to travel.....
the broad road, or the narrow road.....
Matthew 7:13 "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and MANY there be which go in thereat:
7:14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it".
AND ...this ties into what Jesus said in Matthew 24:37....
Matthew 24:37 "But as the days of Noah [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be".
QUESTION: How many were lost ?
How 'few' were saved ?
All I can suggest is.... 13:5 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates ?"
PRAY to God as never before....for HIM to reveal anything, that may be holding you back in your walk with HIM !
