The certainty of of being saved is the most important thing that God has given to humans.  However, people often refuse to be led and enter into God’s plan.  As a result of refusing to be led by God, many of God’s people fall away and ultimately turn against God.  Man leaves God and turns to truths outside God considered more correct. Same people think that God is all-loving and forgiving and cannot possibly bear to punish people who believe Him, even though they refuse to be led by God.  How is the salvation of people who refuse to be led by God and even then fall away ?

Conclusions are obtained by comparing, analyzing and provides an interpretation based on the analogy method of faith, the Bible as a basis for measuring truth.  Realizing that humans are obliged to submit themselves to God and obey God’s statements, the author also used methods Neo-Supernatural dialectics. From the results of research exegetically and by proposing premises so the author can conclude that if sameone who has believed in the Lord Jesus Christ then apostatizes, then the certainty of his salvation will be lost.

This article was written with the aim of understanding the relationship between congregational worship and preaching properly. From this we can draw a question about what if there is no sermon in a service? can it still be said to be a worship that is in accordance with what God has commanded? So we can see that the sermon is the essence of worship. Likewise the presence of the congregation is also very important. because the benefit of the sermon is to educate, advise, admonish and teach His congregation to live according to God's Word. Preaching is one way to convey God's message. in the Christian tradition, this message is based on what is written in the Bible. Sermons can also help congregations to understand God's will in their lives. So the sermon has an important role in the growth of the congregation's faith. where what is conveyed is not only a blessing but a rebuke of sin, an introduction to Jesus Christ and the salvation that comes from Jesus Christ. So worship, congregation and preaching have a close relationship.
