Definition of Eternal Security
“Eternal Security means that those who have
been 
genuinely saved
 
by God’s grace through
by God’s grace through
faith alone in Christ alone 
faith alone in Christ alone 
shall never be in
danger of God’s condemnation or loss of
salvation but God’s grace and power keep them
forever saved and secure.”

“Does the phrase “them that obey Him” (Heb. 5:9)
suggest that, if we do not obey Him, we may lose that
eternal salvation? To “obey God” is the same as “to
trust God,” as “them that obey Him” is a description of
those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ. “A great
company of the priests were obedient to the faith” (Acts
6:7). “But they have not all obeyed the Gospel” (Rom.
10:16). “Ye have purified your souls in obeying the
truth” (1 Peter 1:22). Once we have put our faith in
Jesus Christ, and thus obeyed His call, we experience His
eternal salvation.”
Wiersbe, W. W. (1996).

 (Vol. 2, p. 294). Wheaton, IL: Victor Books.
Obedience of the Faith?
“The provision of salvation was achieved through the
obedience of the Son to the Father at the cross, and the
appropriation of salvation is accomplished through the
obedience of the repentant sinner toward Christ. In this
passage, 
obedience is synonymous with faith
 (acts 6:7;
Romans 6:17; 10:16).”
