OUR PLACE IN GOD’S FAMILY IS SECURE
John 10:27-28 (CEB) 27 My sheep listen to my voice. I know them and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life. They will never die, and no one will snatch them from my hand.
CHRISTIANS HAVE PEACE WITH GOD
Romans 5:1-5 (CEB) 1 Therefore, since we have been made righteous through his faithfulness combined with our faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 We have access by faith into this grace in which we stand through him, and we boast in the hope of God's glory. 3 But not only that! We even take pride in our problems, because we know that trouble produces endurance, 4 endurance produces character, and character produces hope. 5 This hope doesn't put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
SALVATION CANNOT BE CANCELED
Romans 11:29 (CEB) 29 God's gifts and calling can't be taken back.
ACCOUNTABILITY SHOULD HELP OTHERS
Galatians 6:1 (CEB) 1 Brothers and sisters, if a person is caught doing something wrong, you who are spiritual should restore someone like this with a spirit of gentleness. Watch out for yourselves so you won't be tempted too.
ASSURANCE COMES FROM FAITH
Ephesians 1:4-5 (CEB) 4 God chose us in Christ to be holy and blameless in God's presence before the creation of the world. 5 God destined us to be his adopted children through Jesus Christ because of his love. This was according to his goodwill and plan.
GOD WILL GUARD WHAT HAS BEEN ENTRUSTED TO HIM
2 Timothy 1:12 (CEB) 12 This is also why I'm suffering the way I do, but I'm not ashamed. I know the one in whom I've placed my trust. I'm convinced that God is powerful enough to protect what he has placed in my trust until that day.
QUOTATION OF THE DAY:
There used to be an old battered safe standing on Broadway, in New York, on which was the notice, "It stood the test: the contents were all saved." It had been in one of the hottest fires New York ever saw, but the old safe had carried its treasures safely through it all. No life so safe as that which is guided and controlled by Christ.—J. Ellis. One Thousand Evangelistic Illustrations.
