The Glorious
Security of the
Children of God
The true children of God are, according to
the Scriptures, ETERNALLY SAFE because:
- They are born not of corruptible seed but
of incorruptible (I Peter 1:23).- His sheep shall never perish (John 10:28).
- Their lives are hid with Christ in God
(Colossians 3:3).- They are chosen in Him before the
foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4).- They are already seated in the heavenlies
in Christ (Ephesians 1:3; 2:6).- They are sealed by the Spirit until the
day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30).- The Lord knoweth them that are His
(II Timothy 2:19).- Having begun a good work, He will
perform it (Philippians 1:6).- They are already living stones in the
spiritual building of God of which Christ
Himself is the Chief Cornerstone (I Peter
2:5; Ephesians 2:20-22).- They are members of the Body of Christ,
each with a peculiar function -- without
the least member, the Body would not be
complete (I Corinthians 12:12-27).
- They are kept by the power of God
(I Peter 1:5).- The inheritance is reserved for them
(I Peter 1:4).- God's people are a gift to Christ (John
17:6,7).- Backsliding is a sin, but the blood of
Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses us from
all sin (I John 1:7)- He is able to save to the uttermost
(Hebrews 7:25).- They are already "accepted in the beloved"
(Ephesians 1:6).- Nothing can separate them from the love
of Christ (Romans 8:38-39).- He loves them "unto the end" (John 13:1).
- By one offering He hath perfected forever
them that are sanctified (Hebrews 10:
10-14).- They are never more reckoned in the first
man, Adam, but have passed through in
the Second Man, Christ (Romans 5:2-19).- They cannot be unborn (John 3:6-8).
- Christ dwelleth in them (II John 2).
- He gives His sheep eternal or everlasting
life (John 10:28).- Whom He foreknows, He also predestinates,
calls, justifies and glorifies (Romans
8:28-30).- In their flesh dwelleth no good thing;
they are saved by grace (undeserved favour),
not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9).- The gifts and calling of God are without
repentance (Romans 11:29).Fundamental Evangelistic Association
