ETERNAL SECURITY

Eternal Security can be defined as the believer’s unbreakable relationship with the
integrity of God. It remains unbreakable because of who and what God is, not who and
what we are. It is what God does for us in salvation that makes this relationship
permanent. Salvation is a gift of God and at the moment of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
God gave us at least forty grace gifts1 that are irrevocable. He cannot and will not ever
take these gifts away, Romans 11:29. We cannot negate them; no other creature can
negate them; even God Himself cannot negate them, Romans 8:38-39. We are kept and
guarded by the power of God, 1 Peter 1:5.
Before you read any further, be sure that as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ,
you have confessed your known sins, if any, privately to God. This will bring you into
fellowship with God, and the Holy Spirit will be able to communicate Bible doctrine to
you from the Word of God.
1Jo 1:9* If we acknowledge (name and cite) our sins, He is faithful and just with the
result that He forgives us our sins (known sins) and purifies us from all unrighteousness
(unknown sins).
Eph 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the
Spirit.
If you are an unbeliever, the issue is faith in Christ. You must be born again.
Acts 16:31b “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved…”
Joh 3:17-18 “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that
the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who
does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God.”
It is only through faith in the One who took your place on the Cross, and paid the price
for your sins, that you can become born again and saved. Therefore, if you have never
become born again and saved, take this opportunity to tell God the Father, in the privacy
of your own soul, that you believe in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, as your personal
Savior.
