John - Day 23: True Security

When people come to know Christ as their Savior, they are brought into a relationship with God that guarantees His forever love. As we have seen earlier in John that whoever believes in Jesus Christ will “have eternal life.” If a person were to be promised eternal life, but then have it taken away, it would have never been “eternal” to begin with and God would not be a keeper of His promise. John MacArthur has this to say about the passage we will be taking a look at today, “No stronger passage in the Bible exists for the absolute, eternal security of every true Christian.”

Read John 10:22-42
