0088. A Life Secure in the Father's Hands

A Life Secure in the Father’s Hands

"I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish; * *

"My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand" (Joh_10:28-29).

God says that He will hold us in His hand, and "God is faithful, by whom we were called into the fellowship of His Son" (1Co_1:9).

No one need fear to commit their souls unto God as unto a faithful Creator. If salvation depended upon our holding on to God, we might lose our grip; but our safety depends on God holding on to us. He says: "Neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand". We "are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation" (1Pe_1:5).

The business man deposits his money in the bank; when the deposit is made, the security of that money depends entirely upon the bank. It depends upon the vault, upon the safety lock, upon the integrity of the bank officials. The believer’s life depends upon the faithfulness of God.

The ones who trust in Christ the Lord,

Have full assurance in His Word;

Their hope is not in shifting sand,

He holds His children in His hand.

By many a wave we may be tossed,

Yet not a soul shall e’er be lost.
