The Eternal Security Of The Believer: I Give UntoThem Eternal Life

John 10:28-30

August VanRyn

Taken from Milk & Honey Vol XXVI April, 2012 No. 4

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them.....I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.. .no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand..." Here are seven great statements, all carrying the thought of the assurance of the believer.

1. "My Sheep." It is to His sheep that He gives eternal life. Can you imagine such a thing as security being dependent on a sheep? No creature is more helpless. If the shepherd does not look after it constantly, it will stray and perish inevitably. Its safety depends altogether upon the shepherd. So it is with us Christians. It would disgrace a human shepherd if he allowed his sheep to get away from him, yet many would ascribe such disgrace to our blessed Lord. But our Shepherd can say that of them which the Father gave Him, He lost none.

2. They Hear His Voice. They walk in His ways. Those who are really His sheep know His voice and they walk pleasing to Him. The reason so many believe that souls once saved may be lost again is that they judge men to be Christians because they make a profession. Then, when these fall back into sinful living, they say that they are lost again. The truth of the matter is that they had been mere professors. A sheep may fall into the mud, but it does not wallow in it like a pig.

3. "I Know Them." While we often judge wrongly concerning those who are Christians and those who are not, He knows His own. "The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are his" (2 Tim. 2:19).

4. "I Give UntoThem Eternal Life." And be sure of this, God never repents when once He has given. We humans would be ashamed to take away a gift from someone because he did not please us, yet many well-meaning persons charge God with such a dishonorable act. Christ says, "He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life" (John 5:24).

5. "They Shall Never Perish." How blessed such assurance! John 3:16,5:24 and 6:35 and many other scriptures bear the same testimony. The believer in Jesus is saved from the awful, eternal consequences of his sin and guilt.

6. "Neither Shall Any Man Pluck Them Out Of My Hand." "No", say some, "but I can pluck myself out. It is possible to take one's own life, and if I can take my natural life by committing suicide, then I can take away my spiritual life, too." But I answer, "Who told you that you can take your natural life?" You cannot. All that a man does when he commits suicide is to transfer his existence from this world to another. He does not take his life. God made man to exist eternally. Man did not give himself life and he cannot take it away. These are God's prerogatives. Neither can a believer take his spiritual life, even if such a grotesque idea should ever enter his mind. No, God is both the Giver and Sustainer of life. God gives man natural life and he will have that life forever in hell if he refuses the salvation which our Lord has so graciously provided. Even so, to the believer is given eternal life, spiritual life, and the believer has that life forever in heaven.

7. "No Man Is Able To Pluck Them Out Of My Father's Hand." Some say that they can jump out. But God's hand is closed, holding the believer securely. His hand is a hand that holds. And Christ and the Father being one are in perfect accord in this. The Father loved, the Son died, and the Spirit seals. The Spirit is given to abide with us forever (John 14:16). As John 13:1 tells us we are the objects of His love and solicitude to the very end of our journey here below.
