John 16:1-4 — Who Keeps Believers From Falling Away?

My Help Comes from the Lord A Song of Ascents. 121 I lift up my eyes to the hills.    From where does my help come?2 My help comes from the Lord,    who made heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot be moved;    he who keeps you will not slumber.4 Behold, he who keeps Israel    will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The Lord is your keeper;    the Lord is your shade on your right hand.6 The sun shall not strike you by day,    nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord will keep you from all evil;    he will keep your life.8 The Lord will keep    your going out and your coming in    from this time forth and forevermore. (Psalm 121, ESV) 16 “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3 And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you. (John 16:1-4, ESV)
