Perseverance
Eternal Security
Grace · 5 verses
True believers, being eternally chosen, effectually called, and sealed by the Spirit, possess absolute security in their salvation, which cannot be forfeited through sin, doubt, or even temporary unbelief. This security, grounded in God's immutable decree and Christ's finished work, provides confident assurance while never licensing presumption or careless living.
