ETERNALLY HIS

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.  My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.  I and my Father are one.”

John 11:27-30 KJV

If we have invited Jesus into our heart to be our personal Saviour, we are His sheep and He knows us.  Think about it, Jesus, the Saviour of the world knows us personally.  What an encouragement it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know that nobody can pluck us out of His hand.  We are eternally His.

Rusty Goodman wrote one of the most beautiful hymns I have ever heard “Who Am I”.  Have you ever really thought about this?  Who are we that Jesus would willingly walk that long and lonely road to Calvary and allow them to crucify Him on the cross for our sins?  Jesus had never sinned yet He died for us.

Don’t ever let satan or anyone else tell you that Jesus doesn’t love you because it is a lie!  If Jesus doesn’t love you, He would never have died for you on the cross.  Jesus not only loves you, He loves you unconditionally.  There is nothing you could ever do that would make Him stop loving you.

We know Jesus loves us because He proved His love for us when He died for our sins.  The question we need to ask ourselves is “Do I love Jesus and if I do love Him, what am I doing to prove to Him how much I love Him”?  Jesus has called us to serve Him by telling everyone He loves them.  Are we doing it?
