Salvation Secure - Part 1: God's Word

As believers, the security of our salvation is tied up and completely sealed up in the cross of Christ and His resurrection. He paid the price for our sin; He brought redemption and became for us the bridge to restored relationship with Father God (2 Corinthians 5:21). Apart from him there is no way to even come into relationship with the Father (John 14:6). He is alive and seated at the right hand of the Father (Hebrews 1:3). My debt of sin is fully paid and because I have called upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ - I AM and ALWAYS will be saved. This gift of salvation is available to anyone who will receive it and its FREE - no earning required!


The first thing to establish is the understanding that the Bible is the Word of God and therefore every part of it is relevant to our lives- the whole of it's counsel is true. One can not take a piece of the Word and live by it while disregarding the other parts. It must be adhered to in its entirety.

" All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 
~ 1 Timothy 3:16-17

" Your Word, O Lord, is eternal, it stands firm in the heavens." ~ Psalm 119:89

" For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow: it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." ~ Hebrews 4:12

This being established as our foundation we are ready to receive the truth of what God's Word says concerning our salvation and eternal security as believers...

In the next few day we will dig through scripture and uncover the grounding principles by which we can declare; " My Salvation is eternally secure! " and from there begin to walk in that freedom and knowledge in a way that brings glory to God and "feet" to the Kingdom...

STAY TUNED!
