Eternally Safe & Secure IN CHRIST JESUS!
Once
in Christ, ever in Him. Having taken up His habitation in the heart,
He never removes. None can untie this happy knot. Who will dissolve
this union? Will He Himself? No, He will not; we have His word for
it, "I will not turn away from them" (JEREMIAH
32:40). But perhaps the sinner will do this mischief to
himself? No, he shall not; "they shall not depart from Me,"
says their God. Can devils do it? No, unless they be stronger than
Christ and His Father too; "Neither shall any man pluck them
out of My hand," says our Lord (JOHN
10:28).
"And
none is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand" (vs.
29). But what say you of death, which parts husband and wife;
yea, separates the soul from the body? Will death do it? No: what
saith the apostle? "For I am persuaded, that neither death,
nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other
creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is
IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD" (ROMANS
8:38-39).
