13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,
14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Have you ever questioned your eternal security? Examining what happened when you trusted Jesus as Savior will bring reassurance of how secure you are in Him.
Prior to salvation, we all had a spiritual problem. We were born with a nature inclined to sin. Because of this, we were spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1). No amount of good works or repentance could have changed our condition. Our problem required a divine solution. Knowing this, God the Father provided what we needed through His Son Jesus (Hebrews 9:11-14).
The day we trusted in Christ, we were delivered from death into life (John 5:24). We received a new nature—one that wants to please God—and were adopted into His family (2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 1:5). His gift of salvation made us spiritually alive and gave us a blessed eternal future with God in heaven. Our new status as God’s children is permanent because it is based on what Jesus has done.
While our behavior may not always reflect our new nature, the mistakes we make don’t jeopardize our salvation. Remember, it’s not our actions but Christ’s work on the cross that changed everything. And nothing can undo a spiritual rebirth that came about through faith in Him (John 6:37).
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Revelation 5-8
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Mistakes don’t jeopardize our salvation because Christ, not our works, made us right with God.
