How do we know that salvation is guaranteed?

Answered in 2 sources

The assurance of salvation is rooted in God's unchanging decree and the completed work of Christ on the cross (Romans 8:27-30).

Salvation is guaranteed through God's sovereign grace, which encompasses the entire process from predestination to glorification. Romans 8:27-30 outlines what is often referred to as the 'golden chain' of redemption. Each link signifies a predetermined action by God towards the elect, beginning with foreknowledge, followed by predestination, calling, justification, and ultimately glorification. This chain ensures that those whom God chooses will not be lost, as it is firmly grounded in His power and purpose, not dependent on human effort or conditions. Thus, believers can rest assured in the certainty of their salvation, knowing that it was secured by Christ's sacrifice and initiated by God's eternal plan.
