Take Time With God:If a Christian forgets God are they still saved?

What if someone who sincerely asked Christ to be their Lord and Savior at one point in their life but walked away and forgot about Him entirely. Are they still saved? Will they be accepted into Heaven?

3 Therefore when we could endure it no longer, we thought it best to be left behind at Athens alone,² and we sent Timothy, our brother and God’s fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you as to your faith, ³ so that no one would be ^[a]disturbed by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we have been destined for this. ⁴ For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction; ^[b]and so it came to pass, ^[c]as you know.⁵ For this reason, when I could endure it no longer, I also sent to ^[d]find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be in vain.

⁶ But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always think kindly of us, longing to see us just as we also long to see you, ⁷ for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith; ⁸ for now we really live, if you stand firm in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanks can we render to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God on your account, ¹⁰ as we night and day keep praying most earnestly that we may see your face, and may complete what is lacking in your faith?

¹¹ Now may our God and Father Himself and Jesus our Lord direct our way to you; ¹² and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you; ¹³ so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the^[e]coming of our Lord Jesus with all His ^[f]saints.

Take Time With God #95 – The Power of the Holy Spirit –

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy,

To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

² We give thanks to God always for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers; ³ constantly bearing in mind your work of faith and labor of love and ^[a]steadfastness of hope ^[b]in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father, ⁴ knowing, brethren beloved by God, His choice of you;⁵ for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we ^[c]proved to be among you for your sake. ⁶ You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation with the joy of the Holy Spirit, ⁷ so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. ⁸ For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything. ⁹ For they themselves report about us what kind of a ^[d]reception we had ^[e]with you, and how you turned to God from ^[f]idols to serve ^[g]a living and true God, ¹⁰ and to wait for His Son from ^[h]heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.
