Eternal Life is Eternal

Scriptures:

"All the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out." (John 6:37)

"And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day." (John 6:39)

"For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." (John 6:40)

"No one comes to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day." (John 6:44)

"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life." (John 6:48)

"But there are some of you who do not believe... This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father." (John 6:64-65)

Observation:

If you ever needed biblical evidence that you can't lose your salvation, I think this would be it! From the mouth of Jesus himself. I know that there is a popular belief that says you can lose your salvation or walk away from your salvation. But I think Jesus is making it pretty clear that salvation is not something that man decides to do or undo, salvation is decided by God the Father in advance. Once you come to Jesus it cannot be undone because 1) he will never cast you out and 2) it is the will of the Father that he will not lose you but raise you up on the last day! These scriptures also tell us that you can't even come to Jesus unless the Father draws you!

John 10:28

"I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand."

2 Corinthians 1:21-22

And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

Application:

We live in a day when nobody is sure of anything. A day where it is considered arrogant, to say you are confident in anything, having to do with the Bible. We live in a day of "Relativism", where what might be true for you, might not be true for me. In this unstable, unsure world, I need solid truth! I need security! I find security in these scriptures. As I have prayerfuly read through the entire Bible 2 times now, I am confident that I can never lose the salvation that God has given me! I am so thankful that eternal life is ETERNAL, and not some temporary thing that I have to worry about losing. I'm thankful that I am saved, not because of a decision I made, but because of a decision God made, before He created the world.

Romans 8:29-30

For God knew his people in advance, and He chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him.

Ephesians 1:4-5

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do and it gave him great pleasure.

Prayer:

Dear Lord thank you for your grace and your mercy. Thank you for choosing me. I did nothing to deserve this gift of salvation. Help me to follow you with all my heart. I pray for my friends and family, that you would give me the boldness to share the good news of Jesus Christ. In Jesus name, Amen!
