Eternal Security, 12of15



~ The “Unfailing” Love of God ~

The doctrine of “eternal security” (sometimes described as “once saved—always saved”) is widely accepted with Christianity.  There are however some who deny this important teaching of Scripture—by pulling verses out of their context to make them say something other than intended.  In this series we look at what the Word of God has to say about the subject.  “Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy” (Jude 24).

Consider  ~  “I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.  And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:16-19). 

“Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for mankind.  Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of His works with songs of joy” (Psalm 107:21-22).

Comment  ~  Can you not rest in the love of your magnificent Savior?  Can you not rejoice in the reality that His marvelous and unconditional love will never leave you?  His love for you is forever—everlasting! 

Conclusion  ~  “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).  Should you not live your life with a consistent attitude of gratitude and thankfulness?
