“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5   We are God’s “own special people” if we have trusted Jesus as Savior (I Peter 2:9).  He will not forsake us even though He knows we will fail Him.  He knows what we are like – sinful, weak, and frail. He knew it before He called us and drew us to Himself.  The certainty of our salvation rests not in ourselves but on the character of God (I John 5:20).  He will keep us to the end. God will never reject His people, those who are truly His.  The Lord cannot and will not forsake His own.  We can rest assured. What God saves; He keeps.
