Assurance of Salvation (3)

"While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept..."(John 17:12)
The second coming of Christ which Bible tells believers to hold tightly to as means of comfort (IThes.4:17-18) has in our days become a prime cause of fear and terror. Many reasons could be given for this untoward scenario, but the one that seems to tower higher than others is the fact that the perversion Jesus prophesied concerning the end time is here staring us in the face (Mark 13:22 )
Fellow saints, I declare the words of comfort to you today...
"...He is able once and forever, to save those who come to God through Him...". (Heb.7:25, NLT)
Its comforting to know that he did not only die for us but He is also alive for us "...He lives forever to interceed on our behalf" (Heb.7:25, NLT paraphrased).
Those who are saved by God though Christ are also kept by God through Christ (Jude 1:24).
Do not allow extrabiblical prophecies and unfounded arguments to rub you of the consolation you have in Christ or have you forgotten that He said He will never leave you nor forsake you? (Heb.13:5)
Be of good comfort and remember those who are God's are kept safe and secured in His mighty arm.
Blessed?
