The simplest evidence in support of the doctrine of eternal security is a large number of scripture passages which state in plain, unconditional language the facts that can mean nothing else than that all who have been saved are saved for all eternity.
Some of these, in additon to John 10:27-29 already used, are quoted below:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My Word and believes in him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life" (John 5:24, NKJV).
"All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away" (John 6:37).
"And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:39, 4
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!" (Romans 5:8, 9)
"Therefore, there is now no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). The last ten words printed in the King James Version have been added. They are not in the Revised Version, (or the NIV or the NASB). Those who use the Swedish Bible will find that they are not in it.
"And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you [and he does live in every saved person], he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you" (Romans 8:29, 30).
"For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son. . . . And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified." (Romans 8:29, 30).
"Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died - more than that, who was raised to life - is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us" (Romans 8:33, 34). All saved are included in "God's elect." To be lost is to have a charge laid against oneself and to be condemned. God has made provision against both.
"He [God] will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful" (First Corinthians 1:8, 9).
"And just as we [all who are saved] have borne the likeness of the earthly man [Adam], so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven [Jesus Christ]. (First Corinthians 15:49).
"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you [all who have been saved] will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:6).
"For you [who are saved] died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory" (Colossians 3:3, 4).
"The Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever" (Second Timothy 4:18).
"Who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time" (First Peter 1:5).
"Dear friends, now we are children [born ones] of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is" (First John 3:2). Anyone who can at this moment, or at any moment say: I am a child of God, I am saved, can also say, I know that I shall be like him. There is not the slightest trace of anything conditional in this verse.
These passages are unquestionably written to, or about, the saved of this age. There is nothing in the context of any of them to qualify their meaning. They are in non-figurative language which does not call for explanation.
If these passages do not declare that the one who is saved shall remain saved to the end and share the glory of Christ in his heavenly Kingdom, then words are without any certain meaning.
Surely God says that the saved one is eternally secure.
