The Security of God's Sheep
"My
sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: and
I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither
shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them
Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My
Father’s hand." -John 10:27-29 [KJV]
There
is no stronger passage to be found in the word of God guaranteeing
the absolute security of every child of God. They are His sheep, they
follow Him, they have eternal life, they are in the hand of Christ,
the Father gave them to Christ (John
6:37; John 17:2, 6, 9, 11, 12, 24),
and they are in the Father’s hand. The sheep of Christ have a
double security; they are in the hand of Christ, and they are in the
hand of the Father. To suggest that any of His sheep could be finally
lost is to blaspheme the Lord God Himself.
