Our salvation is secure because it rests fully on Christ's finished work and the promise of God to preserve His people.
The security of salvation is a cornerstone of Reformed theology, encapsulated in the assurance that all whom the Father has given to Christ will come to faith and will never be lost. John 10:28-29 emphasizes that no one can snatch them out of His hand. This belief is rooted in the understanding that salvation is not based on human effort but entirely on God's grace and the completed work of Christ. As believers, we can be confident that our salvation is not dependent on our actions; rather, it is maintained by Christ's righteousness and unchanging love. This provides peace and assurance in our walk with God, knowing that He faithfully upholds His promises.
