If the plan of salvation is certain of accomplishment, then the Christian’s future is assured. I am, and will be, “kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation” (1 Pet 1:5 KJV). I need not torment myself with the fear that my faith may fail; as grace led me to faith in the first place, so grace will keep me believing to the end. Faith, both in its origin and continuance, is a gift of grace (see Phil 1:29).
