The Assurance of Being Chosen - John 10: 27-30

There were days when I had doubts having had been drawn to my Lord for a few years after being saved life was hard having lost my sword I wondered if it had been a fake that I had lost the heavenly way but the Lord wasn't finished with me the holy spirit led me to eternally stay One day I opened the holy scriptures to John's gospel 10:27-30, this to believe assurance came and flooded my soul His sheep follow Him never to leave For his sheep hear His voice and He knows eternal life given to them by their father perish never be for His hand's secure God the father chooses those He will gather Our heavenly father is greatest of all no one is able to snatch me away the assurance of being chosen fills one with joy and hope everlastingly ('My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me,[a] is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one.” ) John 10: 27-30 (ESV)

Hi John, Trust all is well in your neck of the woods, glad you enjoyed my piece and it encouraged you. I haven't emailed you as not much to report as each day seems the same, as probably you're the same. Take care, Blessings, Gordon

Such a inspiration and joy to read. I too have felt a lack of assurance and discovered the joy of knowing I'm saved within the scriptures. The Bible is an amazing book filled with so much inspiration and joy and grace. God be with you always and continue to guide you. With much love and prayer, Gina
