Global Pan(dem)ic & a Sound Faith (Part 3): A 5-Day Security Check預覽

Times of forced and unexpected shut-down are not for people to go to sleep and stay asleep. We shouldn’t just wait to reboot where we left off. We need to replace any damaged “security files.” Even before full functionality returns to society, we can restart life right away in “safe mode.”

In Christian conviction, an objective, biblical view of security underpins any subjective wellbeing. The Trinitarian God provides the blessing of survival, safety and security—the eternal kind. When our survival is secured for all time through His salvation, today and tomorrow are taken care of as well.

Search the Scriptures for truths of eternal safety for believers. Look up these verses and their cross-references. Your security forever is guaranteed in:

1.  God the Father’s eternal purpose (Rom. 8:28–30) and mighty power (1 Pet. 1:3–5) for us. All whom the Father called according to His purpose are glorified already.

2.  God the Son’s priestly intercession (Heb. 7:24–25) and protective involvement (John 10:28–29) for us. We can never be snatched from the hand of the Son.

3.  God the Spirit’s once-for-all regeneration (Tit. 3:5) and sealing (Eph. 4:30) of the believer. As in physical birth, once born, we can’t be pre-born, reborn or unborn.

A Trinitarian Christianity holds that God is committed to our security on earth and into heaven. Our security is based on His Son’s singular, decisive and victorious resurrection in defiance of our vulnerability to physical death.
