None can answer but the divinely inspired, unalterable and eternal Word, our final court of appeal in all matters of faith and practice. What then do the Beriptures teach regarding the safety of a saved sold? First, the Scriptures teach that the saved soul is surely safe because it is dependent for safety upon Him who {s able to keep it. 1 Peter 4:19, “Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.” When you are saved responsibflity for your soul's safety passes out of your hands into God's just as money deposited in a bank {s as safe as the burglar.proof, fire proof vault and the financial strength of the bank can make it; so the soul committed to God is as safe as the omnipotent power of Jehovah can make it. Col. 3:3, “For ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.” The bosom of the Almighty is the resting place of the life of the be. liever and there it is safe until some, as yet unborn, uncreated and um. known monster arises from some. | where and drives a dagger of death into the heart of God and lifts a flag go them good; but I will put my fenr‘ of victory over the grave of Jesus Christ. I. Peter 1:5, “Kept by the power (Ps. 33:11). s Second: The Scriptures téach that there is no -created thing in heaven, earth or hell that.can dlti. mately destroy a child of God or take him away from God. Satan cannot do it for“be that is begotten of God, keepeth himaself, and that wicked one toieheth him not” (1. Jno. 5:18). Satan may take his property and take his loved ones, and take his health as he did Job, “only upon himself put not forth thine hand,” sayeth Jehovah. 8in cannot do it, “for 8iu shall not have dominion over 7vou” (Rom. 6:14). Sin may have influence over God's child, but not “dominion.” It is not the reigning power in his life; Christ is that. Temptation cannot do for “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who wil! not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will with the temp. tation also make a way to escape that ye may be able to bear it.” I Cor. 10:13). The world cannot do it; “For whatsoever {8 born of God over. cometh the world” (I Jno. 5:4). The saved one himself cannot do it, for sayeth God, “I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them to it; in their hearts, that they shall not depart from Me” (Jer. 32:40).
