Why is Eternal Security important?
It is necessary that believers have an assurance of salvation.
Everything in our Christian life depends on this assurance.
The very foundation of our fellowship with God is founded on the assurance that He has truly redeemed us from the clutches of hell and He would not forsake us.
It is also implicit that God would want believers to know that they are saved since individuals can’t receive salvation after they die.
Therefore, it seems crucial that individuals should know if and when they are saved.
What are the benefits of eternal security?
In addition to eternal assurance being an essential component of the Christian faith, it is also vital for a Christian’s daily walk in faith. The following are just some of the benefits of eternal security;
Stability in life: Believers who have an assurance of their salvation will remain stable during difficult times, they will live with the confidence that God does not change, and therefore, His grace is sufficient in all circumstances and situations.
An effective prayer life: Believers who have an assurance of their salvation will also have a practical prayer life, knowing that they can commune with God and approach Him with their requests.
Authority over Satan: Believers can be confident that they are “Hidden with Christ” (Col. 3:3). They can trust in the power of the Holy Spirit to help them resist Satan and stand firm under satanic attacks.
Assurance of a secure relationship with God will enable believers to endure the struggles of living in a fallen world.
The foundation of our fellowship with God is also found in this assurance that He has truly redeemed us and saved us from the clutches of hell.
