Romans [MKJV] 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, "For Your sake we are killed all the day long. We are counted as sheep of slaughter." But in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

  Eternal security, once saved, always saved, is factual by and in Logos; the Word living (Jn.1:1) and written (2Tim.3:16; 2Pet.1:20).

  Using verifying verses and passages in Scripture I have written of this blessed truth numerous times.

  Today I present an emotional expression from Paul that reflects his deep concern for his people, the Jews – and also speaks of eternal security.

Romans [MKJV] 9:1-4 I [Paul] tell the truth in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, that I have great heaviness and continual pain in my heart. For I myself was wishing to be accursed from Christ for my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh, who are Israelites; to whom belong the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of God, and the promises;

  In light of all else Paul wrote on the topic of blessed assurance, he passionately declared but if it could be . . . fully knowing it could not.

  Reading God’s Word from Genesis through Revelation, as with the great Apostle Paul, I know there is nothing that will rescind God’s covenant of eternal life for those trusting Him.

  Of this I am certain. Are you?  EBB4 (August 19, 2014)

PS: Trusting Jesus for salvation, but still not certain, say so and I will give you more proofs from God’s Word for it is a terrible thing to live in hindering doubt.
