Safe and Secure

Today's N.T. reading comes from John 10:22-42. Let's key in on two verses: vv.28-29. Throughout church history, the debate has raged about the eternal security of the believer. The question is "can a believer lose his or her salvation?". Jesus gives us the answer in these two verses. "I give them eternal life and they shall never perish." Never means never! Jesus continues, "...neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand....and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand." "Anyone" and "no one" includes yourself! You cannot remove yourself from God the Father or God the Son's hand. In other words, if you are genuinely saved, there's nothing you can do to remove yourself from the eternally secure hands of God. There's nothing you can do to lose your salvation. "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus...!" (Rom.8:1) Praise God! Oh what a Savior! Do you know Him today?
