ETERNAL
SECURITY, ASSURANCE OF

IN ONE of the Superman movies, Superman saves a man from a burning building. He rescues him from the top floor and is carrying him to safety by flying through the skies. The man looks at Superman and then looks down to the ground. “I’m scared, Superman. Look how far down that is.”

Superman gives him a great answer. “Now if I delivered you from the burning fire, what makes you think I am going to drop you when I’m carrying you to safety?”

If God has delivered you from a burning hell, what makes you think He will drop you before He safely puts you down?252

[Eternal Security, Assurance of; God, Power of; Salvation, Assurance of]
