Eternal Security: The Doctrine of Once Saved Always Saved

Eternal Security: The Doctrine of Once Saved Always Saved

Can salvation be lost—or does God keep what He saves? The doctrine of Eternal Security is one of the most debated and misunderstood teachings in Christianity. Often caricatured as license to sin or dismissed as theological presumption, the biblical truth of eternal security stands firmly on the finished work of Jesus Christ and the unbreakable promises of God. In Eternal Security: The Doctrine of Once Saved Always Saved , Edward Wirth presents a comprehensive, Scripture-driven defense of salvation by grace alone—kept by God alone. This book carefully distinguishes justification from sanctification, standing from state, salvation from discipleship, and eternal condemnation from temporal chastening. Rather than appealing to tradition or emotion, this study allows the Bible to speak plainly. Warning passages are addressed honestly without being misapplied. Assurance is restored without weakening holiness. Eternal life is defined as God defines it—eternal. Inside you will discover: Why eternal life cannot be temporary by definition - How Christ’s finished work secures salvation forever - The difference between discipline and condemnation - Why believers can fail without forfeiting salvation - How James and Romans harmonize without contradiction - Why assurance strengthens holiness instead of undermining it This book is not written to excuse sin or promote carelessness. It is written to magnify the faithfulness of God, uphold the sufficiency of Christ, and give believers confidence in what God has already declared finished. If salvation is truly by grace, then it must be kept by grace. If eternal life is eternal, then it cannot be lost. If God gives a promise, He does not revoke it. This is not a system to accept. It is truth to believe
