Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Through the graciousness of God and His infinite love, God is offering the greatest gift ever eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Can anybody take away what God has given us? Can we lose our salvation? Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? God answers this question empathetically in Romans 8:38-39 with a loud NO! For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
It is the everlasting God (Rom 16:26) with his everlasting power (1Tim 6:16), who can not lie (Tit 1:2 in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,) who has made this promise of eternal life. John 3:15-16 "that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Once God has saved you there is absolutely NOTHING that can separate you from God. John 10:28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
This should bring peace to the troubled heart. We are in the hands of God and there is no safer place to be. No matter what the world throws at us we are more than conquers Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

1Ti 1:15-17 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
2Ti 1:8-10 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
