Jesus is the author (beginner) of our eternal Salvation (Heb. 5:9). He is the author and finisher of our faith. (Heb. 12:12) Jesus Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending, the first and the last. He will give to him who is thirsty the fountain of the water of life - eternal salvation - freely (Rev. 1:8; 21:6; 22:13). Jesus begins and ends every Christian's eternal salvation.
