The doctrine of eternal security, or once saved always saved, is a reassuring and glorious doctrine that God will keep believers, despite their sin, and will not let them depart from the faith. This doctrine is based on God's character and promises, not on the believer's ability to remain true to Him. The Bible teaches that God foreknew, predestined, called, justified, and glorified believers, and that He will not abandon them. The concept of eternal security is often resisted due to a misunderstanding of certain passages in Hebrews 6 and 10, but these passages can be understood in context to support the doctrine of eternal security.
