How does preservation relate to God's holiness?

Answered in 1 source

Preservation is a result of God's holiness, ensuring that believers remain secure in Christ.

The preservation of believers is intrinsically linked to the holiness of God. Scripture indicates that because of Christ's fulfillment of justice, God must preserve the lives of those in Christ. Psalm 16:10 highlights this truth: 'Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy Holy One to see corruption.' It is God's holiness that ensures He will keep His promises to His people, which include preserving them until the final day of salvation. This preservation is reflected in 1 Peter 1:5, where it states, 'We are kept by the power of God through faith.' Therefore, our assurance of salvation is firmly rooted in God's righteous character.
