Made to Belong: Jesus Never Quits (4.8.18)

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”  (Jn 10:27–30, ESV)

 

If you believe in Jesus, you belong to Jesus.

 

Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget,  yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.  (Is 49:15–16, ESV)

 

You are engraved on His Hands.

 

5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we can confidently say,  “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” ( Heb 13:4–6, ESV)

 

 

He won’t leave you

 

He won’t forsake you.

 

12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

(Heb 12:1–2, ESV)

 

Give Him the best of your life

and not what's left of your life.
