Preservation and Salvation
When talking about God's words, Biblicists understand that God has promised to preserve his words (Psalm 12:6,7; 1Pe 1:25).
Another promise of preservation that God has made is with regard to salvation. We can be sure that God has and will preserve his words, and we can be sure he will preserve us as well. Jude 1:1 teaches the preservation of the saints: Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:This verse shows us the work of salvation is on God. Though all saints should persevere (Eph 6:18), God's word teaches that the security of our salvation is a matter of God's preservation. 1Pe 1:5 says we are "kept by the power of God." 1Th 5:23, 24: And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.This we see our preservation is "done" by "he that calleth" us, who is faithful. Jude 1:24 says he will "present" us "faultless before the presence of his glory." So rejoice in the promise of God's preservation: your salvation is as secure as God's words are pure! |
