ETERNAL SECURITY

Eternal Security
By: Bishop Albert Gran

Romans 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Romans 8:39
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The world is bewildered by strange nightmares of destruction of which you heard rumors of wars excessive fighting within and without. In every aspect of human life, it's therefore acceptable that people everywhere engaged by threats and life has many probabilities when it cut short due to these dangerous tendencies. Physical life security can't anywhere be found in this world. Whether you are building strong foundation how you could become so wealthy, it would only lead to the fact you're all the more tend to be unsecured. Obtaining life peace was so hard for people to achieve. Even reformists, politicians, psychologists, physicians, soldiers, astrologers, economists and religious leaders could hardly find it. After many attempts of gaining peace these people at the end of the day might gaze up sky beholding for miracle.

As God's workmen and His heavenly citizens, we shall not be so worried about our security. In fact those people whom we think were secured are those most insecure people in this world.Our God in heaven sufficiently equipped us with tools through His wisdom and treasures of knowledge in the Word of Truth.

The cause of obtaining eternal security while abiding in the flesh caused us always to live joyfully and peacefully as we stand and witness the overwhelming situation in our evil and devastated world. When it is our time or life's end, it is declared as our victory and this is the situation that we overcome death with a life surpassing destiny with an ETERNAL SECURITY not here on earth but in the heavens.

The foremost consideration we have to think about is not our works (Tit. 3:5). However, the greatest foundation we have to build is that something founded by Jesus Christ and such foundation was laid by Paul which is the SUREST FOUNDATION OF OUR FAITH (1 Cor. 3:11-16). What we think we work will not work but what we have believed upon is that which works especially for obtaining eternal life security.

ETERNAL SECURITY CAUSED BY THE GOSPEL

What we do consider in our life is the perfect promise of God in this dispensation of grace (Eph. 1:13; Tit. 1:2). We were all sealed with the HOLY SPIRIT of promise. Had you not known that as a remnant of God’s grace there is a seal with the Holy Spirit of promise? God’s sealing is WITH HOLY SPIRIT of promise to mean there is a promise of hope and life eternal, blessedness, security, and unspeakable promise. The gospel of the grace of God overflows abundant life in Christ Jesus. Our walk, destiny and security depend on the principle brought by the grace of God and not on the basis of our own merit caused by our performance. Our life today is simply a basis of embracing the Holy Spirit’s words which are the things in the Spirit revealed to us today.

Brethren, our only hope is Jesus Christ. He’s the only true source of peace and lasting joy all throughout eternity. You cannot earn his favor and grant of eternal security unless you acknowledged and believed what he did for you 2000 years ago at the cross of Calvary. Through His mercy and grace we were granted this wonderful promise that someday beyond the blue we could sit with Him in His heavenly glory.

Grace and Peace!
