In His Hands

I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

John 10:28-30 NIV

I am so grateful for what we just experienced.  It is only because of the events of Easter and what lead up to it that we can rest assured in the promise that we have eternal life and shall never perish. 

These verses have some key phrases in them that we need to remember.  It says that no one will snatch them out of Christ’s hands.  Some take this to mean once you are saved, you are good.  That is not what this says however.  It says that no one can snatch us out, however that does not mean that we cannot choose to leave. 

Christ died for us, so we can be saved.  We choose daily if we are going to say in the safety of his hands.  What will you choose today?
