How Secure Are We?

“For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will,
but the will of Him who sent Me.

“This is the will of Him who sent Me,
that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing,
but raise it up on the last day.

“For this is the will of My Father,
that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him
will have eternal life,
and I Myself will raise him up on the last day”
(John 6:38-40).

As a recent sermon at my church underscored, God’s supreme, sovereign will is the boulder of confidence that our salvation is secure.

Christ was single-minded in His purpose: to fulfill the Father’s will.

The Father’s will is comprehensive: that of all that He has given Jesus, not one thing (body, soul, spirit) be lost but that Christ raise it on the last day.

And who in the universe could thwart the Father’s decree and the Son’s doing of it?

“I give eternal life to them,
And they will never perish,
And no one will snatch them out of My hand.

My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all,
And no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
I and the Father are one”
(John 10:28-30).
