John 10:10b – “Jesus said, I am come that you may have life, and keep on having it in abundance”
Salvation in Jesus Christ is not a fire insurance policy. It is life: God’s kind of life; given to everyone who believes on Christ. It begins in the moment of spiritual birth, or regeneration. We have the privilege of participating in the divine nature. What began in the spiritual birth will go on forever. It is eternal and indestructible because God is.
Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned, he has crossed over from death to life” (John 5:24). If “eternal life” could be lost, renounced or taken away from us it would not be eternal. It would be as temporal as our physical life. It would not be the eternal life that God gives. God is sovereign and He is eternal. Therefore, His gifts cannot be withdrawn.
We have confidence that we shall be glorified with our Lord. Have you entered into that great love and provision of God? When you do your face will shine and your heart will be full of joy because of the indwelling of Christ. If we will allow Him to lead us to the fullness of the Christian life we will find our table in His presence prepared, our heads anointed with His pure oil, and our cups overflowing with His wine of joy forever.
It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
