“For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.” – John 6:38-39
When Jesus, the eternal Son of God, stepped into our world and took on a human body and nature, He came for a purpose. His purpose was to accomplish the purpose of God the Father – to purchase salvation for all who believe in Him. Jesus came with the power to accomplish God’s purpose through His willing and sacrificial death on the cross and His resurrection on the third day. His purpose and power did not fail and will not fail, ever.
Salvation and eternal life are given to all who believe in Jesus and all who believe in Jesus will be saved and raised from the dead to enjoy eternal life in God’s presence. Jesus is able to save to the utmost everyone who believes in Him, no matter what evils lie before our salvation. Christ’s blood washes away all sin, all guilt, and all shame. Jesus will not lose anyone who trusts in Him – all true believers will persevere to the end and be raised. This is the will of the Father, accomplished by the work of the Son, sealed and guaranteed by the presence of the Spirit and we can trust it with absolute certainty.
