1 John 2:24-25
What is written? (ESV)
Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he made to us—eternal life.
What does it say?
Continue in what you heard. If you do that, you will abide in the Son and in the Father and His promise of eternal life.
What is its immediate context?
John, in his letter to brethren, makes refrain after refrain for them to continue to “walk in the light”. In the first chapter, he states as, “If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” (1:6)

Can we lose our salvation?
If we do not stay true to the word, that is, practicing it and not continuing in sin, we will not receive the promise of eternal life from the Father.
