Blessed Assurance, We are Christ's Possession Forever

So many believers in Christ struggle with whether or not they are truly saved. They think they can lose their salvation, that they might do something to disqualify themselves and be thrown out of God's family.

The Bible teaches the eternal security of every true believer in Jesus Christ. Those who have been saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone apart from anything they could do on their own are eternally secure. The security comes from God who chose them before the foundation of the world and predestined them to adoption as sons, and is in the process of sanctifying them and will someday glorify them (Eph. 1:5-14, notice there is a "guarantee", Rom. 8:28-30, notice "called", "Justified", "Glorified" are in the past tense - it is as good as done and God is in process of fulfilling His promise).

Take heart, you who love Jesus but waver and doubt. Jesus says in John 10:27-29 that no one (including you) can snatch you out of His and the Father's hand (He and the Father are One, in perfect unity, He says).

Sing it, say it, live it, believe it, for in Scripture it is clear: Blessed Assurance, We are Christ's possession forever
