How do we know the doctrine of eternal security is true?
Answered in 3 sources
The doctrine of eternal security is backed by Scripture, affirming that those truly saved by God will be kept secure until the end.
Eternal security, often summarized as 'once saved, always saved', rests on the sovereignty of God in salvation. Philippians 1:6 assures us that He who began a good work in believers will perfect it until the day of Christ. Additionally, Hebrews 10:38 underscores that while the just live by faith, if anyone draws back, God's soul will have no pleasure in him. However, genuine believers will keep on believing until the end, as affirmed in Hebrews 10:39. Thus, the permanence of salvation is not based on human effort but rests in God's faithfulness and promise to protect His elect.
