We are in agreement as to the principles of Soteriology. This is a good thing.
My attempt to pull in the Eternal aspect of Salvation, was to give you further reason to rejoice. The more one understands about the eternal nature of our relationship with God, the stronger their belief. Eternal decrees have placed the elect in Christ and because of this, Salvation for the elect, cannot be shaken. It is Guaranteed. Understanding - truly - these things and making them a part of yourself, will cause great reason to rejoice. This eternal knowledge of our relationship with God, magnifies the meaning behind verses like:
John_8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Act_5:39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
Rom_8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
1Co 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
These are comforting verses to any believer but they become even greater as ones understanding grows in regards to their eternal relationship. Eternity is where God lives and has His being - He is only manifested in time. To truly understand Christ, His person and work, One must sit "in the heavenly places" in Christ.
