ETERNALLY SECURE

We are saved by someone doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves. -Lester

Ephesians 4:30, And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

            I am so thankful God, in His grace and mercy, saw fit to send His only begotten Son Jesus to die on the Cross of Calvary. Without Him coming, we would be without hope and help in this world. You see not only did He come and die, He got up from the grave three days later conquering death, hell, and the grave for you and I. It gives us help; we cannot do anything to get to Heaven in our own strength. We also do not have the strength to keep ourselves saved. But God saved me and He keeps me! Friend, that gives me hope for today and tomorrow!  

            Have you been saved? If so, you didn’t do it in your own strength and power. God keeps us saved in His power as well! I don’t have to worry about working for it. I don’t have to worry about losing it. All I have to do is enjoy the salvation He has provided, walking in His will for our life being eternally secure.

Ephesians 2:8-9, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Psalm 35:9, And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

ETERNALLY SECURE

Look at what He is, and what He has done; not at what you are. -D.L. Moody

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Hebrews 9:11-12

If my salvation is based on my good works and I can lose it, then it takes away from what scripture says, “He obtained eternal redemption.” My salvation isn’t based on me but Jesus and His finished work on the Cross. My salvation is complete! It is complete in Him, for Him, and by Him. If it’s based on me, a sinner saved by His grace, then I could lose it for I am not capable of keeping myself from the “least” of sins. Oh what a Saviour is mine that He would redeem a worm such as I. Wicked and vile no more, but redeemed how I love to proclaim it, redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb!
