Eternal Security
# Eternal Security
When a person believes in Jesus that person is saved from their sins. The person belongs to God. People use the words “eternal security” to talk about whether or not a person will always belong to God. Or they talk about if it is possible for a person to stop belonging to God. Scholars disagree about this. The words “eternal security” are not found in the Bible. However, scholars explain things written in the Bible to try to talk about how eternal security may or may not be true.

Some scholars think that if a person is truly saved, they will be saved forever. To support this belief, these scholars talk about verses like Romans 8:38-39. Here Paul wrote that there is nothing that can separate a Christian from God. Paul also taught that God knew the people he would save even before he saved them. Also, God will glorify those he has called (see: Romans 8:28-30; see also 1 Corinthians 1:8; Philippians 1:6). Jude also said that God is able to stop a Christian from sinning and from rejecting him (see: Jude 1:24). God will cause this person to be pure. Jesus also said that no one can take away a person who belongs to Jesus and to God the Father (see: John 10:28-29). The Holy Spirit is written about as a sign in the Bible. When God gives a person the Holy Spirit, that person will always belong to God
(see: Ephesians 4:30). These scholars think that if a person is not saved in the end, then the person was never truly saved (see: 1 John 2:19).
