Question #32 "What is your position on the security of the believer?"

Some time ago, I was given a set of questions by a church who wanted me to come and preach for them, to see if we believed the same truths. I kept a copy of the questions and my answers. Here is question #32.

Question: What is your position on the security of the believer?

The born again child of God is eternally secure. God predestined, called, justified, and glorified his people. Romans 8:28-39 beautifully shows the security of the believer. Our salvation is based upon the finished work of Christ, and as he has finished that work, and we are justified by him and his blood, then there is nothing that can separate us from his love. He is our surety. We live and die in Christ. Since he rose again, then we will rise, since he is with the Father, there we will be also.

Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
