You Are Secure
"Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee."
St. Augustine
St. Augustine
This page focuses on the security of the believer in Christ, Who is the only valid source for the truth of our identity.
We all earnestly seek security in our lives. I am not referring to only financial security, or security in the job market. I am referring to security in our identity. We all want to be confident, unafraid and free from the fear of loss. Through security, we ultimately seek peace, assurance and stability. Without this assurance, we become paralyzed and become fearful, unsure, hesitant and very worried. Many times we feel like life is spinning wildly out of control and we are powerless to stop it. Relying on any source other than Jesus Christ will eventually lead to disappointment and fear. Although the world offers a myriad of ways to "feel" secure, none actually work! Only the Truth of your identity in Christ can grant security!
YOU ARE FOREVER FREE FROM CONDEMNATION
Romans 8:1-2, 8:33-34 - The word used in the Bible for condemnation means "an adverse sentence; a verdict." Webster's Dictionary states condemnation is "to declare to be reprehensible, wrong or evil. Sentence, doom. To adjudge unfit for use. Censure or blame." Without Christ, we are under an adverse sentence of spiritual and physical death. We live under a terrible cloud of despair that makes us feel and even believe that we are doomed and unfit for any purpose. But Christ has a solution. |
Without Christ, we are under an adverse sentence of spiritual and physical death |
When you believe the Gospel, Jesus Christ completely releases you from the verdict of death (doom) and has declared you "FREE". He paid the harsh sentence IN FULL on the Cross. Now, you are forever free from the burden, despair and uncertainty of condemnation. Any condemning charges which might be brought against you are null and void. They no longer have any power over your life. Imagine the torment you endured when people would say you are inadequate, wrong or invaluable. Now imagine God destroying those lies (and thereby the despair from believing those lies) with His Truth. He has declared you free from all condemnation; both from others and from yourself!!
GOD WILL FINISH THE GOOD WORK HE STARTED IN YOUR LIFE
Philippians 1:6 - God declares He will finish the GOOD AND PERFECT work He has started in your life. Believing this Truth will bring security in your life. Life presents numerous burdens, toils, strains, disappointments and sadness. However, the security your identity in Christ grants cannot be touched by any of these hardships. Your security in Christ is a rock that remains steadfast no matter how hard the wind and storms of life crash against it. God's promise that He will finish the good work He began in your life is the ultimate assurance that you will be able to withstand any storm. No circumstance or situation can ever thwart God's plan for your life. Nothing can "sidetrack" God. NOTHING! God completes the work, not you.

YOU CANNOT BE SEPARATED FROM GOD'S LOVE
Romans 8:35-39 - You can be assured, without doubt, that nothing will ever separate you from God's love -- and I do mean NOTHING. His love is so powerful and intense, that no power or force can separate you from His love. Not even you can separate yourself from God's love (Romans 5:8). If you believe nothing else about your identity in Christ, believe this! Your life would be forever changed if you could grasp the depth of His love and goodness towards for you.

Stop a moment and consider this. The Creator of the Universe, the All-powerful, Always-present, All-knowing God, is earnestly and passionately desiring that you have a personal relationship with Him. He chose to endure terrible agony and bear the sins of the entire world upon that Cross so that you and I could have fellowship with Him. He loves you so much, that He gave His life when you knew nothing about Him and refused Him. No love like God's love ever existed or ever will. His love is entire and complete, lacking nothing, overflowing with an abundance for you. Give Him a chance to show you how much He loves you.
