P. 41
[Footnote 4: In the context, this refers to people that the Father "drew" to
Jesus while He was physically on EARTH (an important distinction to
remember when refuting calvinism; compare John 6:37a,44, Mark 1:16-20,
and Luke 5:27-28, and contrast with John 12:32), but the devotional
application is obvious, since you "come to" Jesus in prayer to ask Him to
save you.
(1 Peter 2:4)]
John 10:28 "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." 5
[Footnote 5: Ditto the context of footnote 4 (John 10:26), but this verse is
stronger, since the same "eternal life" is promised to anyone, even after
Jesus' ascension.]
Romans 5:11b "...we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by
whom we have now received the atonement."
1 Corinthians 1:7-9 "...our Lord Jesus Christ...shall also confirm you
unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son
Jesus Christ our Lord."
Ephesians 1:13-14 "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word
of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye
believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the
earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased
possession, unto the praise of his glory."
Ephesians 4:30b "...the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the
day of redemption."
Eternal security is emphasized well by contrast with the Old Testament:
Hebrews 7:22 "By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better
testament.
