The atoning work of the Son—decreed by the Father and applied by the Spirit—ensures that we are safe eternally.

"Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.'" —John 6:35 –37 (ESV)
