Passage: John 10:27-30*

27. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;

28. and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand.

29. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

30. I and the Father are one.

Questions

2. Why are His followers so safe?

 

Practical help

The safest place on earth for a lamb is in the arms of its shepherd. The safest place for a child is in the arms of its father. The safest place for you and me is in the arms of Jesus. That is where we are right now. Fact! We’re not going anywhere — even if we do give in to the pull of Web porn. He’s not going to reject us, ever.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not encouraging you to give in to sexual sin. On the contrary, I’m encouraging you to enjoy your privileged position of belonging to Jesus. Take your eyes off of the struggle with temptation for a minute and look at where you are from Jesus’ perspective. He’s committed to you for the long haul, and He has already given you so much.

Go ahead, listen to His voice today. He knows you. Follow Jesus.
