ETERNAL SECURITY.

Now think of the joy of this fact. Our union with Christ is not only lasting, it is everlasting. With great boldness we utter the challenge, "who shall separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord?" It is true that we hold Christ, and that we will hold Him tighter still, but the greater mercy is that He holds us, and He will never let us go. Does He not say concerning His sheep, "I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand?" And will He not be true to His word? You may take Christ from our hand, but you cannot take us from Christ's hand, He holdeth us fast, He is married to us, and He Himself declares, " The Lord, the God of Israel, saith that He hateth putting away." He will have no divorce between our soul and Himself. This living, lasting union, which we have already found to be such a glorious reality, is to last for ever and ever, blessed be the name of The Lord!
