How does God's hold on us relate to our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's grip on our salvation is unbreakable, ensuring that we remain His regardless of our struggles.

The metaphor of God holding us by the right hand emphasizes His active role in preserving our salvation. Asaph claims, 'You hold me by the right hand' (Psalm 73:23), which echoes the New Testament's assurance that nothing can separate us from God's love (Romans 8:38-39). Our justification before God is not founded on our ability to hold on to Him but on His steadfast grip on us. This sovereign grace means that even when we struggle, feel embittered, or doubt, our relationship with God remains intact, highlighting the certainty of our salvation through Christ's finished work.
