WHO SECURES GOD'S SALVATION CONTRACT?

 

WHO SECURES THE SALVATION CONTRACT?

 

  God’s covenant promise of eternal salvation is absolute; believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved is plainly spelled out in Scripture. Not in the least to sound supportive of predestination, but because of security confusion on the part of some folks, I ask:

 

1. Does our trusting Him secure the salvation covenant?

 

2. Is God’s salvation agreement secured by our “hearing”?

 

3. Is eternal life secured by our ability to establish and keep faith?

 

4. Is salvation secured by a covenant between us and God?

 

5. Is salvation secured by a covenant between God and us?

 

  Believers’ security in guaranteed by none of the above. Salvation is secured by God on one side and God on the other. It is a covenant God made with Himself! (Heb.6:17-19) as Andrew Farley states, “We [believers] are the beneficiaries of a covenant we did not start and that we do not maintain or sustain. Therefore, God is the one Who makes certain that we continue in Him.” (2Tim.2:13; Heb.7:22, 25)

  As a believer we are secure. Knowing this and feeling so is also nice . . . relieving and empowering.
