What does the Bible teach about the impossibility of losing salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible indicates it is impossible for true believers to fall away from faith, as their salvation is secured by God’s sovereign choice (Hebrews 6:4-6).

In Hebrews 6:4-6, the notion of impossibility reflects the assurance believers have in their salvation, asserting that those truly enlightened and partakers of the Holy Spirit cannot lose their salvation. This is not merely about human effort but about God’s sovereign grace that secures their faith. If they could fall away, it would imply that Christ's sacrifice is insufficient and that He would need to be re-crucified, which is impossible. This doctrine of perseverance encourages believers that their salvation is a work of God and not subject to human fluctuation or failure, offering profound assurance of God’s faithfulness in securing the salvation of His elect.
