God's Faithful Promises

 

God's Faithful Promises I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand. John 10:28 A Christian should never take unbelief lightly. For a child of God to doubt His love, His truth, or His faithfulness is deeply displeasing to Him. How can we grieve Him by doubting His sustaining grace? Christian, it is contrary to every promise in God's precious Word for you to think you could ever be forgotten or abandoned. If that were possible, how could He be true who said, “Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the son of her womb? Even if she could forget, I will not forget you!” Isaiah 49:15 What would be the value of the promise, “Though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be shaken, My loving devotion will not depart from you, and My covenant of peace will not be broken,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.” Isaiah 54:10 How could Christ's words be true when He said, “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand. My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.”  John 10:28-29 What would happen to the doctrines of grace? They would be disproved if just one child of God were to perish. Where would God’s truth, honor, power, grace, covenant, and oath be, if even one person who trusted in Christ were cast away? Banish those unbelieving fears! Arise, shake off the dust, and clothe yourself in the beautiful garments of real faith. Because you have believed in Jesus Christ, He has promised that you shall never perish. Let the eternal life within you express itself in joyful confidence. Charles Spurgeon
