0093. A Life Secured by the Grace of God

A Life Secured by the Grace of God

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God" (Eph_2:8).

If salvation depended upon ourselves, upon what we are or upon what we do, it would never be sure; but, if salvation depends upon grace, and if grace is absolutely foreign to any merit of our own, and is wholly dependent upon Him, then salvation is sure. A salvation dependent upon God and not upon man, is an assured salvation.

We can truly say, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus". We know we shall never be brought into the judgment. There is One who ever liveth, and He is able to save unto the completion.

"’Twas grace that wrote my name

In life’s eternal Book;

‘Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,

Who all my sorrows took.

Grace taught my wandering feet

To tread the Heavenly road,

And new supplies each hour I meet,

While pressing on to God.

Grace taught my soul to pray,

And made mine eyes o’erflow;

‘Twas grace which kept me to this day.

And will not let me go."
