Romans 8:29-30 KJV
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover
whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them
he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

in Christ Jesus before the world began,

2 Elect
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through
sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood
of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
We are chosen in Christ alone. We are eternally secure in Jesus Christ. God made these decisions beforehand that we might be saved in Him. It is impossible for us to lose our salvation.
Now we ought to understand the completeness of the redemption we have in Jesus Christ. Here are some verses from the book of Hebrews that speaks to this theological issue.
Hebrews 1:3 KJV

10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
The nature of spiritual salvation is by grace alone. The grace of God is the unified goodness and righteousness of Christ alone in His life and death. We are saved by His redemptive kindness.

2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Titus 3:5 KJV

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

The spiritual plan of God is about unconditional love. We are eternally secure because of the sinless performance of Christ alone. We are not saved by our performance. Grace is something that we do not deserve. There is nothing that can be done to merit grace. Grace and faith are a gift from God.
I remember when I first trusted Christ. I asked Him for forgiveness for my sin and He forgave my sin and guilt. I also remember when I made a decision to committed discipleship to Him alone. I remember a time when I gained assurance of salvation. We can be sure we belong to the Lord by His Word and the hearing of the Word preached. I hope this was a helpful study for those who reject eternal security.

Ephesians 4:30 KJV
10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 4:30 KJV
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
The Bible does not say we can lose our salvation. However, when we sin there is God's chastisement. If we repent right away, He will forgo His chastisement of us. Sin means a loss of rewards but not a loss of spiritual salvation.
