“Yeah….” I nod slow, take a sip of my coffee… “Yeah… maybe the deepest comfort is knowing that no rejection can ever take away any of your sure security, because God still takes you. Once you're a child of God… you are always a child of God and no one can erase you from the family of God when God etches your name right into the palm of His hand.”
The Spirit of God sustains and secures and keeps us, and only by His grace, we keep on keeping on and God keeps us and doesn't cut us off as His Spirit makes a way for us to cut off distractions and keep following Him… Genuine believers surely can't ever earn their salvation, but genuine believers live ever in the Spirit to surely bear real fruit, because if “anyone does not abide in (Him), he is thrown away like a branch” (John 15:10),” and maybe this is what C.S. Lewis meant when he encouraged us all on, “Christ said it was difficult for the rich to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. He meant that to follow Him is not something we do once and for. We must go on following Him every day” (Mere Christianity).
