A young Christian was often bothered by people telling him that he might be lost after all. "If you don't hold on you will be lost," they would say.
"You are mistaken," the Christian would answer.
"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 that He died for me. I cost Him too much for Him to give me up."
The sinner who believes on Christ becomes one of the sheep of Christ, the Good Shepherd, and He says seven things about them in John 10:27-29.
1. "My sheep hear My voice."
2. "I know them."
3. "They follow Me."
4. "I give unto them eternal life."
5. "They shall never perish."
6. "Neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand."
7. "My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand."
He'll not let my soul be lost;
He will hold me fast;
Bought by Him at such a cost,
He will hold me fast!
