| A Hold |
| 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,” he would answer. “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’m sure of one thing; if I let Him go, He’ll never let me go! He loves me so much that He died for me. I cost too much for Him to give me up.” |
| The sinner who believes on Christ becomes one of the sheep of Christ, who is the “Good Shepherd” (John 10:11), and in John 10:27-29, he says seven things about them. |
| “My sheep hear My voice.” |
| “I know them.” |
| “They follow Me.” |
| “I give unto them eternal life.” |
| “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.” |
