The believer’s eternal security rests on the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ for our sins. The Lord’s final words as He hung on Calvary’s Cross were the three most magnificent words ever uttered: “It is finished” (John 19:30). In dying for our sins and rising from the grave, Jesus Christ did all that is necessary for salvation. All we can do is turn from our transgressions and receive the gift of everlasting life through childlike faith.
The believer’s security amid life’s trials and tribulations on earth also rests in the loving care of our heavenly Father, who knows our needs and pledges to meet them “according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).
