How do we know salvation is eternal?

Answered in 9 sources

Salvation is eternal because it is rooted in God's eternal purpose and accomplished through Christ, as stated in Hebrews and Revelation.

The concept of eternal salvation is supported in scripture, particularly in passages like Hebrews 5:9, where Christ is described as the author of eternal salvation to those who obey Him. This eternal aspect signifies that the plan and execution of salvation were devised by God before the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8). Thus, salvation isn't a reaction to sin but rather a predetermined plan of God to redeem His elect. As believers, the assurance of eternal life rests not on our temporary actions but on the eternal work of Christ, who completed the redemptive work on the cross and guarantees that those who trust in Him will never perish.
