How do we know our salvation is secure in suffering?

Answered in 1 source

Our salvation is secure because it is grounded in God’s eternal purpose and accomplished through Christ's sacrifice, untouched by our circumstances.

In the context of suffering, it is crucial to understand that our salvation is firmly rooted in God's plan from eternity. First Peter reminds believers that they are 'elect sojourners,' indicating that their identity and salvation are secured by God's sovereign choice. This election assures believers that nothing can separate them from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:39). Moreover, Peter elaborates on the past accomplishments of salvation through Christ's redemptive work (1 Peter 1:18-19), the present privileges of being God’s chosen people, and the future hope of an imperishable inheritance (1 Peter 1:4). Therefore, the steadfastness and security of salvation remain intact amidst trials.
