God is Holding you!

"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." (John 10: 28)

When you receive Jesus Christ, the Way , the Truth, and the Life (John 14: 6), He holds you in His hands, and no one can take you away.

For too many believers, they are convinced that after they are saved, it is up to them to hold onto God. Yet the Bible does not teach such self-reliance at all:

"But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." (Jude 20-21)

We do not "do" anything, but merely believe on Him, and His everlasting life cannot be cut off from us. "Praying in the Holy Ghost" means resting in the Kingdom, praying in the Holy Spirit, for in Him you have righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17).

In effect, we do not hold onto God, but rather He holds on to us. Jude confirms this:

"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." (Jude 24)

He keeps us from falling because He is our righteousness, and even when we sin, His grace abounds (Romans 5: 20) to more than make up for our failings.

God is holding you. Believe and receive this wonderful truth.
