“The same eternal security attends all of God’s covenant promises, including those that guarantee eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. Since Jesus is the Son of God born to reign as King on David’s throne, those who believe in him may enter his forever kingdom of salvation. Jesus said: “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. . . . For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day” (John 6:37, 40). This is God’s forever covenant with you, a promise that neither death, nor sin, nor an eternity of time will ever break, if you will believe on Jesus, the offspring of royal David and the Son of the God of grace."  ~Richard D.
