The Scriptures today are for new Christians and for those who have been saved for years. These are Scriptures on assurance of eternal life once you have put your faith in Jesus. I'm sure all of us at times wonder if we are saved especially when we sin. I hope that these will help ease some of the anxiety that we all deal with.
[ASSURANCE]
John; 10:27-30
(My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are one.")
Jesus tells us that when we belong to Him, no one is able to take you away from Him.
Romans; 8:28-29
(For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.)
This covers everything that we might encounter in life's path.
Even though we are appointed to die once, Jesus tells us that we will live.
John; 11:25-26
( Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?")
Though we may die physically, Jesus is able to raise us from the dead. He will give us eternal life because He is the Son of God. There is life in no other.
If you have the Son of God, you have life.
1John; 5:11-13
(And this is the testimony; that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.)
All through the Scriptures we are told that eternal life is in Jesus and Him alone.
John; 14:6
(Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.")
We must believe and put our faith in Jesus.
John; 5:24
(Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.)
The people who receive that life are here identified as those who hear the Word and believe in the Father and the Son. They are the people who have eternal life and will never be condemned.
[OUR INHERITANCE IS IN HEAVEN]
1Peter; 1:3-5
(Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.)
God not only keeps the inheritance secure, but He keeps the believer secure. No one can steal the believer's treasure and no one can disqualify the believer from receiving his inheritance.
Romans; 8:31
(What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?)
We know that we can trust God to do exactly what he says. Put all your faith and trust in Him.
God Bless You!
