These are the words of Jesus, the Son of God. He is the Good Shepherd who gave His life for the sheep; and now risen, He gives His own eternal life to the sheep. His own pledge is, \u201cThey shall never perish.\u201d<br \/>\nNo, He does not say, They shall never wander; He does not say, They shall never backslide; He does not say, They shall never stumble, but He does say, \u201cThey shall never PERISH.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYes,\u201d you say, \u201cbut there are other scriptures which, it seems to me, say that a believer may be finally lost.\u201d<br \/>\nWait a minute, let\u2019s consider one scripture at a time. Does Christ say of His sheep, \u201cThey shall never perish?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYes,\u201d you reply, \u201cbut surely that must mean so long as they are faithful.\u201d<br \/>\nBut He says, \u201cNEVER.\u201d<br \/>\nNow which is right: your word, that a true believer may be lost after all, or Christ\u2019s word, \u201cThey shall never perish?\u201d<br \/>\nIf \u201cnever perish\u201d means anything, it means one cannot be finally lost. There are no ifs, buts, or conditions of any kind attached, but a bare, unqualified, absolute statement: \u201cThey shall NEVER PERISH.\u201d You are bound to admit that at least one text of Scripture assures the true believer of final security. This being so, I have only to add that if there is any other scripture that appears to you to contradict or qualify this text, it must be that you do not understand that other; for, thank God, there is no possibility of misunderstanding such plain words as \u201cnever perish.\u201d<br \/>\nMy reader, you run no risk in venturing your soul on ONE WORD of the \u201cGod that cannot lie\u201d and \u201ccannot deny Himself.\u201d Take this word as your main anchor, and wait on God to make clear any other that troubles you.<br \/>\nDo you think that you could by any possibility sink into hell at last if, as a poor sinner, you had taken Christ at His word and relied on His \u201cNEVER PERISH?\u201d If it could be so\u2014with reverence I say it\u2014all heaven would blush to find the Christ of God unfaithful to His pledge. No, beloved friend, Jesus Christ is \u201ca tried stone, a precious stone, a sure foundation,\u201d and \u201che that believeth on Him shall not be confounded\u201d (1 Peter 2:6).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Imprint My Tract?
