How do we know our eternal security as believers is true?
Answered in 1 source
Eternal security for believers is grounded in the finished work of Christ, who keeps those given to Him by the Father.
The security of every believer rests on the assurance that Jesus Christ has completed the work of redemption. In John 17, Christ affirms that He has kept all whom the Father has given Him, stating that none are lost. This includes individuals like Peter, who faltered yet did not lose their salvation. The assurance is not based on our ability to hold on to faith, but rather on Jesus' intercessory role and the power of God that preserves us. This doctrine of perseverance reminds us that our salvation is eternally secured through Christ's singular, sufficient work on the cross and His ongoing intercession for us.
