How much more of a promise of salvation can we have than, “I will never leave you or forsake you.”
Praise God.
God won't. We leave Him, however, sometimes permanently.

It doesn’t take into account that we can leave Him. God has promised us salvation; we don’t have to accept it.
Praise God and AMEN! Those words have always done the job just fine for me. They seem very straightforward and very self-contained. I can't imagine how many hundreds of pages longer the average Apostolic Bible would be if it actually said the words that are interpreted to the Bibles we use today. In just this area alone, behind all of God's promises would have to be a giant UNLESS, and then three paragraphs of exceptions that allow man to fill in all of the holes God left, but never said anything about. I guess salvation is too big a gig for man not to be the star. :)
