The issue of eternal security is one of the most hotly debated topics in the history of Christian theology. Many believe a lack of assurance promotes anxiety and a chronic uncertainty that leads to a preoccupation with one’s fears and failings, leading further to a paralyzed and feeble faith. At the other end of the spectrum, many argue those who “know that they know that they know” they are saved with no possible threat of losing their salvation tend to live a life of moral laxity combined with a fatal spiritual apathy. This issue is of no little importance. There are immense pastoral implications. Should we warn people that if they fall away they will go to hell? Or should we calm sinning believers with the assurance that no matter how much and how often they sin, they will enjoy eternal salvation? If we focus on the warnings, we show we take the Bible seriously but we have to wonder if we have robbed people of an assurance God would have them possess. On the other hand, if we focus primarily on the promises of God, have we done justice to the warnings found throughout Scripture? A proper accounting of the biblical doctrine of eternal security must take both into account.
