This is from The Berean Call:

The Bible is filled with verses to the effect that the Good Shepherd will keep His sheep, that those to whom He gives eternal life shall never perish, that He who has begun a good work in us will perform it, and that even if all our works are burned up, yet the one who is in Christ is saved though as by fire. Never does the Bible say that the One who purchased my salvation has now turned it over to me to lose it if I please. That would be the utmost folly, and it is the force of the argument in Hebrews 6: that if one could be lost, it would be impossible to be saved without Christ being crucified again, in which case Christ would be made a fool of before the world for having procured salvation at such a cost and then turning it over to sinners who could never earn it and who surely can’t keep it.

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour….”

—Jude 24–25

AMEN!

When I was sixteen, I was in an SBC Sunday school and the teacher handed me a Bible and I read John 10:27-30 for the first time - about Jesus giving eternal life to His sheep and that they would never perish - my eyes were opened to the true Gospel. I left the Roman Catholic church that I had been raised in because I knew it wasn’t teaching that. Nobody had to tell me to or ask me to, I just KNEW that I was in the wrong church.
