In regards to Eternal Security, God has promised to confirm believers to the end (1 Corinthians 1:8), to preserve believers (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24), and to give believers everlasting life (1 John 2:25). These promises God is faithful to keep (Titus 1:2). In fact, God is already engaged in accomplishing Eternal Security. Harold Barker in his book Secure Forever reveals the nature of Eternal Security’s paradigm in Scripture. Summarizing Romans 8:29-30 he writes, “Everyone foreknown is predestined. Everyone predestined is called. Everyone called is justified. Everyone justified is glorified.” God, therefore, is accomplishing Eternal Security by putting believers through His sanctification process. God does His part to provide Eternal Security and urges Christians to their part to know it. In 2 Peter 1:9-10 God warns the Christian that he may forget “that he was purged from his old sins” but admonishes him “to make your calling and election sure:” The Christian can know Eternal Security by nourishing himself with God’s Word. One finds that the Godly characters of Bible did that. They exhibited an attitude of eternal assurance in their salvation that would otherwise be impossible if they did not know Eternal Security. {CONTINUED} |
