Salvation is not something we go in and out of; it’s not a temporary state that we lose and regain. It’s not a matter of saying, “I was saved yesterday, but now I’m not. I have to get saved again.” That’s not how it works. We don’t move in and out of salvation. Instead, we hold on to God’s grace with enduring faith. Jesus emphasized this when He said that “the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Who is that person? It’s the one who continually holds on to God’s grace. When we sin, we turn to God’s grace. When we’re weak, we lean on it. When we’re unsure of the future, we rely on it. Holding on to God’s grace is what gives us security in our salvation, and that’s the essence of the “Helmet of Salvation” — knowing that our salvation is secure in His grace. As long as we endure in faith and hold on to God, we cannot be lost. Nothing can separate us from His love if we just hold on to who He is and trust in His plan for us.
