~ 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?
