Secure or Insecure

Introduction: Where is your security? Jobs? Health? Home? Bank account? Did you notice that you can lose all of those things overnight? Where do we find real security? 

Let’s see:
 

1. Real SECURITY comes in things that do not CHANGE!

“38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Rom 8:38,39)

God’s love through Jesus Christ will NEVER change! Isn’t that comforting? Assuring? A Blessing?
 

2. Real SECURITY comes in things that do not CHANGE!

“5Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” (1Peter 1:5)

The word “kept” means guarded. In other words, our Lord has His people protected. That does not mean that we will escape hardship, affliction, troubles and trials. But it does mean He is going to see us through them!
 

3. Real SECURITY comes in things that do not CHANGE!

The Word of God does not change!!

“89For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” (Psalm 119:89)

While culture, fashions, and seasons change, the Bible is steadfast! We can depend upon its promises!! It stands, and we can stand on it. 
 

5. Real SECURITY comes in things that do not CHANGE!

“16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (1Thess 4:16-18)

Since the Word of God has been fulfilled in the past, we can be confident it will be fulfilled in the future.

Praise the Lord! Every Christian’s future is bright!
 

Conclusion: How are you doing in the area of security? Good or bad? Standing or falling? Learning to distinguish between what is unchangeable and changeable is the first step to finding real security. Think about it.

Jesus does not change. “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” (Heb 13:8)

That is where CHRISTians find real security! Do you feel insecure? Consider why. Make the transition.
