John 10:28-29 “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.”
This is one of the first verses that I committed to memory. Why? It’s because so many feel that they are unworthy to be saved. Some days they feel saved and the next they feel lost. They are not sure if they are saved or not from day to day. How unsettling that must be but these verses give us a mental picture that we are secure and held firm but the mighty hands of Jesus and the Father. When my children were young I tried to see if they could snatch a marble out of my hand when it was clinched tight. Even a strong man has difficulty opening a clinched hand. How impossible it is to snatch someone out of the mighty hands of God! Jesus reassures us that “no one is able to snatch them out” of His hand or the Father’s hand. What an inspirational image and promise this is!
John 6:37 “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.”
The gospel of John is my favorite because John writes so much about the security that is in Christ Jesus. This verse is somewhat like John 10:28-29 with the exception of this precious statement of Jesus; “whoever comes to me I will never cast out.” Wow! What unconditional love this reveals. Jesus will not ever turn anyone away, or cast them out, once they come to Him….no matter what!
