Eternal security is the biblical doctrine stating that authentic Christians permanently possess everlasting life based solely on the gift of salvation given by God.

The eternal security of every believer is a fact that is—

— Initiated by God the Father

“He chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.” (Ephesians 1:4)

— Accomplished through God the Son …

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)

— Guaranteed by God the Holy Spirit

“You also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.” (Ephesians 1:13–14)
