How do we know the doctrine of eternal security is true?

Answered in 6 sources

The doctrine of eternal security is undergirded by the belief that salvation is entirely in Christ's hands and not dependent on our actions.

The sermon expresses that eternal security is rooted in the assurance that if Christ is for us, no one can condemn us. It relies on God's sovereign mercy and the work of Jesus as our surety. Christ's atoning work, represented in the story of Judah and Benjamin, ensures that God's elect will be saved without exception. The certainty of our salvation is emphasized throughout the scriptures, such as Romans 8, which reassures believers that nothing shall separate them from the love of God. This doctrine hinges on God's immutable promises, where He states, 'I will bring it to pass,' securing the eternal destiny of His chosen people.
