II. The Proof Scriptures for Eternal Security Examined
There are a number of scriptures in the New Testament that clearly state the case for eternal security. After reviewing these, it is difficult to imagine that one could take another viewpoint that is strictly based on scripture.

A. It is God’s will to lose no one

“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:37–40).

Jesus will not cast us off if only because that is the will of the Father. We know that it goes much deeper than that though, because He died for us and defeated death and hell to save us. He loves us completely in His own right

B. No man can overcome God’s will
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
I and my Father are one” (John 10:27–30).

Jesus assures us that no man can pluck us out of His hand or out of His Father’s hand either, since He and the Father are one Lord
