Reason # 4 of 11.
The eternal salvation is secure forever because of the
Righteousness of God.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes, both to Jew first and to Greek.
For the righteousness of God is revealed in out of faith to faith, as it is written, But the righteous shall have life and live by faith." (Rom. 1:16,17 RcV)
Once you are in the realm of the living and available Jesus Christ God is bound by His own
righteousness to completely follow through to save you to the uttermost.
God must justify you. He has justified those who have believed in Christ Jesus.
"With a view to the demonstrating of His RIGHTEOUSNESS in the present time, so that He might be RIGHTEOUS and the One who justifies him who is of the faith of Jesus. " (Rom. 3:26)
If God does not eternally save the man or woman who has believed in Jesus Christ He would violate His own eternally righteous being.
Righteousness is the foundation of God's throne. It is the RIGHT thing for God to do, no matter how difficult you make it for Him, to justify you. He is bound by His own righteousness.
The Father is very wise. You may only give Him a little temporary trouble. Eventually, God has a way to incentavize the human being to want to go along with His salvation process.
God's righteousness secures that you will be thoroughly saved within and without.
If not in the church age, there is still the 1,000 year millennial kingdom age. Eventually by the time of the new heaven and new earth all the saved will have been saved to the uttermost to be like Christ. God MUST follow though this work over the saved or He would not be righteous.
He cannot fail to honor His Son's redemptive death and resurrection for our eternal salvation. It is the righteous thing for Him to do. He is bound by His righteous being to complete the work of producing sons of God to the Firstborn Son - Jesus Christ.
Again, the foundation of the Divine throne and authority of God is the righteousness of God.
"Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Lovingkindness and truth go before Your face." (Psalm 89:14)
God's throne is established forever. Nothing can shake its firm establishment for eternity. And our salvation in Christ is secured by God's righteousness, a righteousness as unshakable as the eternal throne of His authority.
