Maintaining your Salvation!
New Converts Class Lesson #3
(Transcript of Tape #104)
We have shown from the previous lessons that we are saved and adopted into God‘s family. WE can take comfort in the fact that no one can snatch us out of our Father’s hands but we must “maintain” this new relationship so we will not “backslide”. Let’s look at those verses in John 10 that we have covered in the past 2 lessons:
John 10:27-29 says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.”
Here we have the promise that no one can snatch us out of our Father’s hand. We must learn how to maintain our walk with Him daily. Maintenance is something we do everyday in our personal appearance before mankind how much more should we maintain ourselves before the Lord! Just as we entered into a new relationship with our spouses we must enter in with our Father. We took time to get to know our spouses in every way possible, there likes, and dislikes, goals and expectancies!
Forget the Past
2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
