Eternal Security

October 29, 2009

The doctrine that salvation, once attained, is eternally secure and therefore cannot be lost. Calvinists refer to this doctrine as “perseverance of the saints,” placing the emphasis on the instrumental cause of one’s security–God’s sovereign electing will. This sovereign will is evidenced in the perseverance of the faith of the believer. Passages that adherents would reference in support of this doctrine include John 10:28-29 and Romans 8:29-39.
