I heard the announcement, “Your name is on the standby list!” Groan! The dreaded standby list. Possibility but no guarantee.
Oh, to be numbered among the confirmed! To have my own seat and departure time. How can you rest if you aren’t assured passage on the final flight home?
Many live with a deep-seated anxiety about eternity. They think they’re saved, but they still doubt, wondering, “Am I really saved?” Jesus promised a new life that could not be forfeited or terminated. He says “whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned.” God stakes his claim on us. Bridges are burned, and the transfer is accomplished. Ups and downs may mark our days, but they will never ban us from his kingdom. Jesus bottom-lines our lives with His grace!
“I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24″
From GRACE
