Can Salvation Be Assured?
“…...and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.” — John 10:28
There are people who question their salvation. What God wants us to know is that we have eternal life through Jesus. What assurance do we have that we’re permanently secure? One reason we can be sure of salvation is God's unconditional love. At the cross, He demonstrated just how much we mean to Him by sending His Son to die so that we might have eternal life. (1 John 4:9-10) Because Jesus was without sin, He took the death penalty that we deserved, and He did the saving work none of us could accomplish. He rescued us from sin and death and secured our salvation. (2 Cor. 1:10) Another assurance of eternal security is the presence of God’s Spirit within each believer. The Holy Spirit acts as a seal, guaranteeing that we belong to the Lord and serving as a pledge of our future in heaven with Him. (2 Cor. 1:21-22) Because God’s promises are true, we can believe John 5:24: “……...whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life.”
