If the doctrine of eternal security is not true, then I am not a saved man.
I have quenched and grieved the Spirit so many times in my Christian life that it is a marvel and a wonder that God didn't kick me into Hell years ago.
I'm not "glorying in my shame:" but I am certainly glorying in my wondrously patient, magnificently longsuffering Savior, Who has sealed me unto the day of redemption, and promised to complete His perfect work in me.
It's like a Presbyterian preacher once said, when asked, "Do you believe in the Perseverence of the Saints?" He replied, "No, but I believe in the perseverence of the Savior."
HOORAY FOR JESUS!
