How do we know that God preserves His elect?

Answered in 2 sources

God preserves His elect through the unbreakable covenant, as demonstrated in His promise to David, ensuring their eternal security.

The preservation of God's elect is assured by the covenant which He established with David, reflecting His unwavering commitment to His promises. In 2 Chronicles 21:7, we see that despite Jehoram's wickedness, the Lord would not destroy the house of David because He had made a covenant with David to preserve a light to his descendants forever. This highlights the concept of eternal security in the Reformed tradition, whereby those whom God has chosen are kept by His power and grace. The New Testament further illuminates this doctrine through passages like Romans 8:30, which affirms that those whom God predestines, He also calls, justifies, and glorifies. The security of the elect rests in God's faithfulness, not human merit, assuring us that nothing can separate us from His love.
