The Safest Place



"And I give unto them Eternal Life; and they shall never perish, neither shall
any man pluck them out of My hand" (John 10:28). 



We believe in the eternal security of the saints. First, because they are
Christ's, and He will never lose the sheep which He has bought with His blood
and received of His Father. 



Next, because He gives them eternal life, and if it be eternal, well then, it
is eternal, and there can be no end to hell, and heaven, and God. If spiritual
life can die out, it is manifestly not eternal life, and that effectually shuts
out the possibility of an end. 



Observe, further, that the LORD expressly says, "They shall never perish." As
long as words have a meaning, this secures believers from perishing. The most
obstinate unbelief cannot force this meaning out of this sentence. 



Then, to make the matter complete, He declares that His people are in His hand,
and He defies all their enemies to pluck them out of it. Surely it is a thing
impossible even for the fiend of hell. We must be safe in the grasp of an
almighty Savior. Be it ours to dismiss carnal fear as well as carnal confidence
and rest peacefully in the hollow of the Redeemer's hand.

BE PERSUADED OF HIS LOVE


 



Who killed Jesus?



God did. God the Father was ultimately responsible for the death of His son.



God is telling us, “ I purposefully determined to crush My Son with My wrath –
for your sins, as your substituteö



Why?



“Because I love you.’



 



When you’re tempted to doubt God’s love for you, stand before the cross and
look at the wounded, dying, disfigured Savior, and realize why He is there. 



I believe His Father would whisper to us, “isn’t that sufficient?



I haven’t spared My own Son; I deformed and disfigured and crushed Him – for
you.



What more could I do to persuade you that I love you?ö



That’s how far God’s love goes.



And that is what it all means. 



 



Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him. 



He has caused him to suffer. 



When you make his soul an offering for sin, 



he shall see his seed. 



He shall prolong his days, 



and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand. 



After the suffering of his soul, 



he will see the light and be satisfied. 



My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; 



and he will bear their iniquities.   Isa 53:10-11 (WEB)
