"Jesus has you in his hands nothing can pull you away. Jesus will not lose any the Father has given him!"

Why does the second sentence necessarily follow from the first except to say that Christ will have no fault in any loss? You may have answered this for me before.

Trinitarian faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is evidence of one's election.

As such, no sheep will ever be lost, but will be brought to salvation by His redemption of them which was completed by the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world through the grace of God alone.

I'm sorry I should have posted Scripture. I was just restating off the top of my head.

John 10:27-29 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone 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 My Father's hand."

This is blessed assurance.
