How do we know that salvation through Christ is permanent?
Answered in 1 source
Salvation is permanent because Christ settled the account of sin through His death and resurrection.
The assurance of the permanence of salvation is firmly rooted in Scripture, particularly in Romans 8:1, which states that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. This means that once a believer is saved, their account with divine justice is settled for eternity through Christ's finished work. Paul reiterates this in Romans 5:9, affirming that we are justified by His blood, and in Romans 8:34, where he asks who can bring a charge against God's elect, emphasizing that it is God who justifies. Therefore, salvation is secure because it rests on the accomplished work of Christ, rather than on human performance.
