A converted thief was often tested by Satan, the enemy of souls. This wily old serpent used one of his henchman constantly to distress a young Christian by telling him that he might yet be lost. "If you don't hold on you will be lost," he would assert.
"You are wrong," the Christian answered. "I mean to hold on; but I have learned that, when I was saved, two got hold of each other. I got hold of Christ, and Christ got hold of me. I am sure of one thing-if I let Him go, He will never let me go! He loves me so much He died for me. It cost Him too much for Him to give me up."

Bought by Him at such a cost,
He will hold me fast."
