What does John 10:28 mean about not perishing?

Answered in 1 source

John 10:28 means that those whom Christ gives eternal life will never be lost or separated from Him.

In John 10:28, Jesus promises, 'And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish.' This profound assurance signifies that true believers in Christ possess an eternal life that is secure and unshakeable. It emphasizes the doctrine that once we are genuinely in Christ, we cannot be plucked from His hand, nor can anything separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39). Hence, this verse provides believers with a comforting assurance of their salvation, reinforcing the idea that God's grace is unwavering. The permanence of our salvation is a key tenet of Reformed theology, illustrating that our security rests not on our actions, but on Christ's finished work.
