The reality of the ETERNAL SALVATION we have in Christ is summed up in several verses of the scripture among which is John 3:16, the most popular and yet highly misunderstood verse of the Bible!
When God promised you EVERLASTING LIFE based on your faith according to John 3:16, what He was promising you in essence is HIS VERY OWN LIFE. A life that is incorruptible and can NEVER perish, for as long as He is God. Eternity to eternity!
That my friend, is ETERNAL SALVATION for the man who has put his faith in the Son of God, Jesus.
If as little as one believer (just one) goes to Hell, then God Himself on the account of the scriptures (John 3:16, John 10:27-29, Hebrews 7:25 ,& Jude 1:24) is the biggest scam of the universe, for He has vowed by the death of His Son to keep the believer saved unto the end. By end here, I mean FOREVER!
As crazy as it sounds, ALL who have believed in Jesus for salvation are knitted or joined in an inseparable union with each other and with Christ (1 Corinthians 6:17, Colossians 2:19, Ephesians 4:4-6). Where ONE goes is where ALL go, even more, they go there with Christ!
The implication of that spiritual union is that if one believer dares ends up in Hell, then that's the fate of ALL believers in the world. And they ALL go there with Christ.
If just one believer goes to Hell, then the cross failed, the death of Jesus a waste, and we as believers are of all men most miserable!
But thanks to the Father, even to Jesus, in whom we have ETERNAL REDEMPTION through HIS BLOOD. Not by power, not by might, not by any action of ours but by His Spirit, which is the Spirit of Grace!
Rejoice in this!
