Salvation is everlasting because it is secured by Christ's perfect sacrifice and God's eternal promise to His people.
The assurance of everlasting salvation comes from the nature of Christ's atoning work and the promises of God. According to the sermon, once a person's soul is saved in the Lord, that salvation cannot be revoked or lost. The concept of 'everlasting' underscores the permanence and security found in Christ, affirming that true believers will not face condemnation as testified in scriptures like John 10:28-29, where Jesus assures that no one can snatch His sheep from His hand.
