How do we know eternal justification is true?

Answered in 11 sources

Eternal justification is grounded in Scripture, affirming that God’s declaration of the elect as justified occurred before the foundation of the world.

Eternal justification is affirmed through various biblical texts that emphasize God's sovereign initiative in salvation. Ephesians 1:4 states that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, highlighting that their justification is not contingent upon their actions or experiences in time, but rather based on God's eternal decree. This doctrine emphasizes that justification is grounded in Christ's faithfulness rather than human faith because God’s omniscience allows Him to declare His people justified from eternity, ensuring that His purposes cannot fail.
