John 10:28
“And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” Everybody is going someplace in eternity. Those who receive Jesus as Lord and Savior to eternal life, and those who don’t, to eternal condemnation where the wrath of God will be poured out upon them. If you have Jesus, He has you and you can take great comfort every night when you lay your head down to sleep that you will wake up, because you have the promise that you “shall never perish”. Before salvation and even as a new believer, I was afraid to die. I didn’t know how it would happen or when. But now, I have a new understanding, and there is no fear because of this promise that I “shall never perish”. I won’t be here anymore, but I won’t be in hell. How can I be so sure? How can you be so sure? When we came to Jesus, He not only accepted us, He put us in place of protection from any chance of being stolen, lost or forgotten. If you received Jesus as Lord and Savior, and you never reject Him turning back to your old way of life, you have been accepted and your name shall not be blotted out of the Lambs Book of Life. He has given you eternal life, you will never perish because you are in His hand covered with His Blood.
