Bible Note: Ah! AO: You have given us a big and daunting task, to explain all of those quotations in one post and to show that yet our salvation is not affected. I dare not attempt it. Instead I will ask the question that Paul asked: If God so loved us that he gave to us his Son, will he not also with him freely give us all things? Whatever it takes to keep me safe. His Holy Spirit, his power, his strong hand, his intercessory ministry, his forgiveness, his patience, his respect for the blood of Christ, his disdain for double jeopardy, whatever it takes, I have it. So forgive me if I summarize it all under his love for his blood-bought child. I’ve found a friend, O such a friend He loved me ere I knew him He drew me with the cords of love And thus, he bound me to him And round my heart still closely twine Those ties which naught can sever For I am his and he is mine Forever, and forever I’ve found a friend, O such a friend All power to him is given To guard me on my onward course And bring me safe to heaven The eternal glories gleam afar To nerve my faint endeavor So now to work, to watch, to war But not to worry. Never! It’s all up to him, and he is able. I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him. Therefore I will never worry about losing my salvation. |
