John 10:27-29 is one of the strongest statements to be found in the Scriptures guaranteeing the security of every child of God!
- “My sheep.” They are his sheep and he died for them.
- “I know them.” He has always known and loved them.
- “They follow me,” and another shepherd they will not follow.
- “I give them eternal life.” It is his free gift to them.
- “They shall never perish.” How can one perish for whom Christ died?
- “No man has the power to take them out of my hand.”
- “My Father gave them” to me and me to them.
- “No man is able to take them out of my Father’s hand.”
The sheep of Christ have a double security. They are in his hand and in the hand of the Father. To suggest that any of his sheep could finally be lost is to blaspheme the Lord God himself.
