The trial is over.
"Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands
condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son."
John 3:18
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,"
Romans 8:1
The decision is recorded.
"And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his
Son. he who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have
life."
I John 5:11-12
Your salvation is forever.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16
It is guaranteed.
"And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel
of your salvation. Having believed you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy
Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who
are God's possession -- to the praise of his glory."
Ephesians 1:13-14
"set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as deposit,
guaranteeing what is to come."
II Corinthians 1:22
"Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit
as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. Therefore we are always confident and know
that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. We live by faith,
not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at
home with the Lord."
II Corinthians 5:5-8
It can not be lost or stolen.
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal
life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who
has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
I and the Father are one."
John 10:27-30
