Live to Love Scripture Encouragement John 10.29

John 10:29 “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." Jesus’ sheep are given to Him by His Father. He is greater—more powerful—than any one who would like to snatch His sheep out of His hand. His sheep can’t be snatched out of His hand because not only are the sheep in Jesus’ hand, they are in the almighty, all-powerful Father’s hand. Our security isn’t based on what we do or don’t do. Our salvation isn’t based upon our good works. We are saved and have eternal life because of the Father’s sustained will toward our highest good, even if it cost the Shepherd’s life. He created us in Christ and gave us to Him forever. That’s security! However, those who are not His don’t need to be snatched out. They aren’t in the Father’s hand. They do not believe because they are not His sheep. They refuse to listen to His voice because they do not know His voice. We are living through a time in history where it appears that the devil is snatching sheep out of the midst of Jesus’ flock. He doesn’t have to snatch them, he can just call them. Progressive “Christianity”, which isn’t Christian at all, is calling his sheep out from His flock. The apostasy has begun. God is separating the world’s sheep from His sheep before He brings them into the fold.
