Salvation in eternity is a free gift. It cannot be lost because it is secured by Christ's blood and righteousness. A salvation that can be lost is not by grace through faith alone.
Yet many verses seem to either suggest we can lose salvation or that we need to work for it in some way.
The Holy Bible is true and has no contradictions - so we know there is an answer. Many explanations are offered to try to "save" the doctrine of salvation by grace, depending on the passage and the doctrinal framework one subscribes to: - If you commit great sin, you were never really saved - True believers will always repent - The passage is hypothetical - It applies to a different dispensation - It only applies to the "old man"
The truth is that passages such as Mark 9:38-50, Luke 12:, Hebrews 10:23-29, James 2 (and many more) can only be rightly expounded when one understands the fear of the Lord.
Ironically, having a fear of God and understanding that believers can be subject to great chastisement and even punishment from God, strengthens and upholds the doctrine of eternal security and salvation by grace through faith alone.
