IOW, God protects us from ourselves.
I for one, am glad of that.
Back in the day before I was sure of my salvation, as I didn’t really know or understand all the promises concerning it, I told God that I was putting my salvation in HIS hands to take care of and keep.
And if it were possible that I could or would ever do something that would cause me to lose my salvation or I’d reach a point of denying Him and giving it up, that being of sound mind and body, He had my express permission to take my life before I’d ever give up on Him.
The believer ‘is hidden’ by God in Christ...Colossians 3 tells us .. “For you are dead and your life is hid WITH Christ IN God.”........Jesus further himself saying in John 10......”My Father, which ‘gave them me’, is greater than all and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.”
The believer’s hope and trust in what God says will not fade away... Will not grow dim......as it’s written we are brought into ...” an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled and that fadeth not away, RESERVED in heaven for you, ...who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” (1 Pet:1:5)
