Of the millions who have accepted His offer, many have found the peace and joy of knowing they have a secure relationship with their Lord and Savior. Others, however, haven't felt as secure. Some routinely struggle with confusion and uncertainty, wondering if they've lost their salvation in Jesus Christ because of something they have or have not done. It's a frightening and tense place to be in when you are uncertain about where you stand in your relationship with Jesus Christ. Understanding the basis and the nature of salvation can eliminate much of the uncertainty that some Christians feel regarding their relationship with Jesus Christ.
Faith alone is the basis for our salvation.
It is the object of our faith that matters. A strong sense of security settles in our hearts as we realize that while we are the fortunate recipient of God's grace and mercy, we are not responsible for earning it. Additionally, the Bible teaches that we are eternally secure when we solely trust the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior. This is the eternal and binding nature of the salvation that Jesus grants. Jesus said that He gives us eternal life and we shall never be lost.
