God's elect are safe because Christ measures His kingdom and secures His people by His grace and power.
The assurance of the safety of God's elect is illustrated in Revelation 11 when John is instructed to measure the temple of God, which signifies the spiritual kingdom of Christ. This act of measuring represents God's protection over His chosen people. According to the sermon, only those who have been chosen and saved by God's grace are part of this spiritual building. The scriptural understanding of God's elect shows that they are distinct from those who merely participate in religious activity. Their safety is guaranteed not by their efforts but by Christ's sacrificial work and the security provided through faith in Him.
