These verses underscore the unbreakable bond between believers and the love of God in Christ Jesus. They affirm that no external force, whether spiritual or physical, can sever the relationship and love that God has for His people. This passage offers profound reassurance of God's enduring and unwavering love for His followers.
Some things just seem too good to be true. For you, heaven might be one of those things - unattainable and out of reach. Maybe you feel like you could never be good enough to deserve to go there. The Bible, however, tries to erase that insecurity from your mind. These two verses shout, “Don’t worry everybody, God has got you!” Once we yield our lives to him, God holds us with his strong arms. He never lets go of us, no matter what. It is not our job to keep our souls from slipping outside of heaven’s bounds - it is God’s! He is the ultimate protector who grips our souls for eternity.
Having surrendered yourself to God, your salvation is a done deal. Your prayer is signed, sealed, and delivered straight to God. First John 1:9 says; “If we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins, Because we can trust God to do what is right. He will cleanse us from all the wrongs we have done.” The Bible reassures you that at the moment of your repentance, you became God’s child. Nothing you can do will change God’s mind.
And this is the boldness we have in God’s presence: that if we ask God for anything that agrees with what he wants, he hears us. If we know he hears us every time we ask him, we know we have what we ask him for - 1 John 5:14-15
