Kept by God
By Rev. Billie Friel
SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 1:5
INTRODUCTION: People are insecure.
Many people protect themselves by elaborate alarm systems or sophisticated locks.
What about our salvation––are we secure?
The Bible says we are “kept by the power of God.”
We are “kept” by …
1. Christ’s Promises.
Note “not perish” in John 3:15, “lose nothing” in John 6:39, the seven-strand rope of security in John 10:28–30, and the seventeen things that cannot separate the believer from Christ in Romans 8:35–39.
2. Christ’s Prayers.
Jesus’ effectual prayers enable believers to persevere (see 1 Peter 1:9, 11, 15).
Believers are kept by Christ’s prayers (see Luke 22:31–32).
3. Christ’s Priesthood.
Our Savior continues to support and sustain the saved through His priesthood ministry (Heb.
7:23–25).
As our High Priest, Jesus continues forever and makes intercession for us.
4. Christ’s Presence.
Jesus would never leave or forsake us (Heb.
13:15).
The believer, at salvation, is sealed with the Holy Spirit (Eph.
1:13) until the day of redemption (Eph.
4:30; see also John 14:15, 17).
CONCLUSION: Nothing is safe from loss except that which is kept by the power of God.
