John 10:28, “And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.”
I don’t know about you, but when I think about the fact that as a child of God that I have been saved and set free from sin and that Jesus has given me eternal life, it just makes me fall in love with Him over and over again.
It’s like that song that says “when I think about the Lord, how he saved me, how he raised me, how he filled me with the Holy Ghost, how he healed me to the uttermost. When I think about the Lord, how he picked me up and turned me around, how he placed my feet on solid ground. It makes me want to shout!” And man, that just how I feel when I think about how good Jesus has been to me!
Jesus paid a debt that He did not owe because we owed a debt that we could not pay. We have been given something that we absolutely do not deserve. It’s incredible!
If we belong to Christ then eternal life has already begun! I’ve been thinking about that lately, eternal life is not something that only begins when we die and get to heaven, it begins the moment we are born-again – think about that, right now, if you are a believer, you are already living eternally! It doesn’t mean that we are everything that we should be yet, or that we have it all together, it just means that every day we are walking in the grace and mercy of God.
Jesus makes it clear that if we are His sheep (v27) that absolutely no one can snatch us out of His hand!
