Eternal Security

The Bible teaches the doctrine of eternal security. If a Christian is eternally secure, he will have the joy of not having to worry about his salvation leaving him every time he sins. If he can be sure of his salvation, he will be free to work for God and not for his salvation.

The purpose of this tract is to prove to you from the scripture that the believer is one hundred percent ‘Secure Forever’.

God Saves Us For His Name’s Sake

God does things for very special reasons. When God does something, it has a definite and holy purpose behind it.

The Bible tells us that God saves us “For His Name’s Sake.” God sent his only begotten Son to earth, to die the death of a common criminal for his name’s sake.

1 John 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

Psalms 25:11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

Psalms 106:8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

Psalms 109:21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

God Preserves Us For His Name’s Sake

God highly reveres his name. God promised never to forget his people Israel. Why? For his “Name’s Sake,” that is why. God has preserved Israel down through the ages. This is not to say that God did not punish them when they disobeyed him. Rather, when Israel the chosen nation disobeyed Him, He punished them severely, but He never destroyed them. And He never will. Israel will exist forever for “His Name’s sake!”

1 Samuel 12:22 For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.

Isaiah 48:9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

Ezekiel 36:22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

Just as God preserves Israel for “His Name’s Sake,” God will preserve his Saints.

Psalms 79:9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

1 John 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

God Gives Us Eternal Life

God gave us his Son so that we may have eternal life. God gave us eternal life; he did not give us temporary life as some may try to tell you.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Titus 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

1John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

God has given all those that believe in Christ eternal life. Not once in scripture do you read anything about God giving someone temporary life.

Where Does Our Assurance Lie?

Our Assurance lies in the one who saved us. Our assurance does not lie in our good works, or our church, it does not even lie in our faith. But rather it lies in the faith of Jesus Christ. That is right, our assurance lies in the hands of Jesus, the second person of the Godhead.

Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

The Child of God is protected in God’s loving hands.

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.

John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

Do You Want To Have The Assurance Of Eternal Life?

If you want to have the assurance of going to heaven when you die, first you will have to repent of you sin. Second you will have to put your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Third, tell God about your decision through a little prayer. It may go something like this.

Dear God I am a sinner, I have broken your commandments and I need you to save me. I repent of my sin (Make a 180 degree turn from your sin.) and I ask you to come in to my life. In Jesus’ name I pray Amen.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
