The Assurance Of Salvation
March 25, 2021
‘I give them eternal life.’ John 10:28 AMPC
Your salvation isn’t guaranteed by your performance—but by Christ’s performance at the cross. Yes, you’ll have moments you’re proud of and moments you’re ashamed of. But as long as your trust is in Christ, you’re saved, and you’ll go to Heaven.
Jesus said: ‘I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. [To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed.] And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand.’ Even more, God stakes His claim to us. ‘He has put His seal of ownership on us and has given us the Spirit as His guarantee.’ (2 Corinthians 1:22 GWT)
You’ve probably done something similar: engraved your name on a valued ring, etched your identity on a tool or iPad. Stamping declares ownership. Through His Spirit, God stamps us. Would-be takers are repelled by the presence of His name. Satan is driven back by the declaration: Hands off. This redeemed child is Mine! Where there’s no assurance of salvation, there’s no peace. No peace means no joy. And no joy results in fear-based lives.
Grace creates a confident soul who declares, ‘I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.’ (2 Timothy 1:12 NIV) Your boarding pass for the flight to Heaven is secure: ‘These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.’ (1 John 5:13 NKJV)
It’s not about your hold on God—but His hold on you!
