II Timothy 4:18
II Timothy 4:18: “And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
This is what we forget – that it is the Lord who preserves us. The reason we cannot lose our salvation is because the Lord cannot fail in His work. We tend to think that it’s all up to us and that we need to work hard in order to stay in the faith, but in fact it is God who is at work preserving us. He started our salvation, He saved us, He keeps us, and He will bring us safely home. What we need to learn to do is simply rest in His faithfulness. He will not let go of us or let us down. Others might, but He will not. Our ultimate destiny is not in question.
