The Keeping Power of God

John 10:27–29  (ID: 2910)

The Bible tells us that the Lord “keeps” those who are His. What then are we to think if an individual has professed to be a Christian but later falls into grievous sin? In this survey of scriptures on the perseverance of the believer, we see that God’s Word does not sidestep difficult questions but addresses them very practically. It is God Who keeps. Our part is to believe and to use the means of perseverance He has provided.


27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29My Father, who has given them to me,1 is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
