God’s promise to people who invite Christ into their lives is described in 1 John 5:11–13:
“And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.”
The Bible says your relationship with God through Jesus Christ can never be taken from you.
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand” (John 10:27–29).
Things Are Really Different Now
If you invited Christ into your life, many things have changed. Look at what has happened.
Christ is in your life:
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
(Galatians 2:20)
Christ’s power is in your life:
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
(Philippians 4:13 NASB)
Your sins are forgiven:
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.
(Ephesians 1:7)
You are a permanent part of God’s kingdom:
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.
(Hebrews 12:28)
