The Bible clearly says many times that followers of Christ are able to keep from falling into sin, thus, out of saving grace. Here is one verse that addresses this great truth.
Jude 1:24
(24) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
Two Great Truths
1- Christ is able to keep us from falling, and
2- He is able to present us faultless before God's presence. This passage gives great comfort since we also face the possibility of falling into sin and falling from grace.
