The Logic of Assurance
Commentators overwhelmingly emphasize Paul's 'greater-to-lesser' argument. If God did the most difficult thing—justifying us through Christ's death while we were still His enemies—He will certainly do the comparatively easier thing of preserving us now that we are His friends. Charles Spurgeon calls this an 'irresistible argument' for the believer's ultimate security and a 'deathblow to all misgiving.'
