We know God keeps His people because Scripture assures us of His faithful provision and protection, illustrating His sovereignty over all things.
God's keeping power is crucial for the believer's assurance. Jesus explicitly states in John 17 that He prays for God to keep His followers, signifying that their perseverance in faith relies entirely on God's sovereign will. Ephesians 2:19 further underscores that true believers have been delivered from the dominion of darkness. The assurance of God's keeping reflects His nature as a loving, sovereign Father who desires to protect and nurture His children through all earthly trials.
