Reader,
God's Salvation is Eternal. It will last for as long as God exits.
Its not part time or temporary.
Why not?
Its Because God's Salvation is Jesus Himself, and its also God's Righteousnes, as : Christ's imputed Righteousness".
See those 2?
They are OF GOD, and God is Eternal, therefore whatever God gives to you spiritually, is also eternal.
So, How does God save you?
Reader,.........He saves you with His Grace........that is all His.
This means that there is no CAUSE found in you, that would or could earn it or keep it.
Salvation is SUPPLIED by God.....and its ETERNAL regarding the BELIEVER who is Born again.
Also, Notice something that Jesus said at the Last Supper. ........ He said....>"They hated me, without a cause'.
Now, if you are a person who likes to search "Koine Greek words"......then when you search that word "CAUSE", in the verse....it literally means "cause-less".
= No cause found .
And THAT is how you are to understand your Salvation that God supplied to you., in that there is no cause found in you, that merits it or can earn it.
This is why God's Salvation is explained by Paul as : "THE GIFT of Salvation". And '"Imputed Righteousness".
And Lastly, notice what a person is, when God gives them His Eternal Salvation that is His "Righteousness".
Romans 5 : 8-11. ........ 1.) "while we were Yet sinners"....... and 2.) ""when we were enemies of God"..
See that?
THAT is the situation that finds God's Salvation...... = a sinner who is an enemy of God, is GIVEN BY GOD...."righteousness", as a "Gift".
And now they are "made righteous'" and there is no cause found in them that makes them worthy.....as they are a sinner who was an enemy of God.
That is YOU and ME, when we came to faith in Christ.
Understand?
And now, God has esteemed them/us... and decreed them/us as "RIGHTEOUS">, and that is eternal because It came from Eternal God.
Now its vital, its imperitive that you realize that there is no cause found in you, that would create a reason for God to save you to begin with...
And you have to understand that, you have to have that as your FAITH..... or you will find yourself unable to believe that God keeps you saved, and you will try to do it for yourself. And once that (broken faith) happens in your head, then you have "fallen from Grace", and you are in a "carnal mind" and you will not be able to believe correctly regarding "Justification by Faith".
And without that foundation of revelation, the bible will be nothing to you but confusion, and that is because understanding "justification by faith" is the ONLY Key that unlocks church doctrine that becomes revelation knowledge for you.
