“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,” | Ephesians 1: 4-5
According to the Word of God, all true believers shall continue in the grace of God until they reach their heavenly inheritance.
Not one of God’s elect shall ever perish. The purpose of God in election will not allow it. The purpose of Christ in redemption will not allow it. The grace of the Holy Spirit in regeneration will not allow it. And the Word of God, which has plainly spoken, will not allow one of the Lord’s sheep to be lost in the end.
God Himself declares, “My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never persih, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand” (John 10: 27-28)
These five basic gospel truths give great comfort and joy to all true believers. We rejoice to declare to all men that we believe the Bible doctrines of Total Depravitiy, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonment, and the Perserverance of the Saints.
Only those who are opposed to the grace of God are opposed to these things.
In stating plainly what the BIble teaches about these things, the people of God are simply declaring what we know to be true, “Salvation is of the Lord!”
“By grace are ye saved through faith; and not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: not of works lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2: 8-9)
