It, moreover, follows from a consideration of (1) the immutability of the divine decrees (Jer 31:3; Mt 24:22-24; Ac 13:48; Ro 8:30); (2) the provisions of the covenant of grace (Jer 32:40; Joh 10:29; 17:2-6); (3) the atonement and intercession of Christ (Isa 53:6,11; Mt 20:28; 1Pe 2:24; Joh 11:42; 17:11,15,20; Ro 8:34); and (4) the indwelling of the Holy Ghost (Joh 14:16; 2Co 1:21-22; 5:5; Eph 1:14; 1Jo 3:9).
This doctrine is not inconsistent with the truth that the believer may nevertheless fall into grievous sin, and continue therein for some time. (See Backslide.)
