Assurance of Salvation and Eternal Security
🕊️ When we are saved, our soul becomes God’s purchased possession, sealed with the Holy Spirit, highlighting the permanence and security of salvation.
📖 Salvation is not based on works, but on the work of God in us, and our works are a response to what He has already done for us.
📖 Understanding the Bible correctly is crucial in having the assurance of eternal security, as different periods (such as the church age and the future tribulation) may have different implications.
Summary

2.3 When we are saved, we become sons of God and cannot lose that status, as stated in John 1:12, and we have eternal life in Christ.
