The best Scripture I've seen for the proof of eternal security is Rom. 8:30 which says that none will be lost--all who are foreknown will be justified. Without eternal security, there is no assurance of salvation, (the two can be distinguished but not separated) like the Romanists maintain.
If our salvation depends on our works we might blow it in the end--how do we know that we will endure to the end to be saved? The Bible always speaks of eternal life as something we have now, not after we die. If it is eternal it cannot be interrupted or lost. In a works religion you just never know how much is enough or how little is too little to lose it. Jesus said all manner of sin can be forgiven except blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, so what sin do they think cannot be forgiven--Jesus makes intercession for us when we sin (Heb.7:25; 1 John 2:2). Your only way to have full assurance is to for salvation to depend on God and to be of grace alone! Soli Deo Gloria!
