What does the Bible say about the foundation of salvation?
Answered in 5 sources
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the only true foundation for salvation, secured by God's knowledge of His elect.
In 2 Timothy 2:19-21, we understand that our foundation rests on Jesus Christ. This foundation is immovable and sealed by God's eternal knowledge of His people. Salvation is not contingent upon our decisions but upon God's sovereign election and foreknowledge. The assurance of salvation comes from God's choice and love for His elect, affirming that they are saved by His grace alone, independent of human merit.
