Eternal redemption is affirmed by scripture as being obtained through the blood of Christ, ensuring believers are purchased and set free from sin.
Eternal redemption is a theological truth grounded in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Hebrews 9:12 notes that Christ 'by his own blood, entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption.' This affirms that redemption is achieved through His sacrifice and not through human effort. The eternal nature of this redemption means that it is fully effective for all sins, past, present, and future. The assurance of believers being 'bought with a price' provides confidence in this doctrine. Furthermore, it confirms that we are not our own, as believers become Christ's possession through His enduring love and sacrifice.
