Your Salvation is Safe and Secure
Romans 8:38-39 What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else? Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Let’s imagine that God loves you every bit as much as He tells you. After all, the evidence for that is pretty strong:
John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
If that’s true do you think He would allow the devil to rob you of the freedom that Jesus purchased for you on that cross? Do you imagine for one moment, that God would allow that incredible act of sacrificial love to go to waste?
There are people who believe in Jesus with all their hearts and yet, they’re afraid that something they’ve done or something the might do one day … will rob them of their freedom.
Come on – you haven’t found yourself wondering at some point, “I wonder … if, I’m in. You know. I wonder if God’s really forgiven me. I wonder if, when I finally stand before Him, if I’ll pass the judgement.”
And can I tell you, the devil loves that. Because if he can get a toe-hold in your mind, he’ll work away to undermine your faith. And truly, that’s why I believe that God has brought us together today. Because He is not going to allow that to happen to you.
Jesus said that if you continue in my word, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. So let’s do a bit of continuing, and a bit of knowing, to set you free from any doubt.
Romans 8:31-39: What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else? Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
That’s powerful stuff isn’t it? Nothing whatsoever can separate you from the love of God in Christ. That means, that your freedom, your salvation, are absolutely secure.
And that’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
