You’ve Got a Done Deal
First Things First (part 2)


Nothing—zilch, a big fat 0. 
Nothing can cut off 
God’s love supply to us. 
Nothing. End of story. 
Romans 8:39 WSV



Jesus Is Sure, So I Can Be, Too

I assure you, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.	 John 5:24 NLT


* Help Others Know for Sure
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 	1 John 5:12-13 NIV

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. 	John 10:28-29 NIV

Dad’s given them to me, and no one arm-wrestles with him and wins. No one’s about to rip them out of His strong grip. 	John 10:28-29 WSV

And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 	John 6:39-40 NIV


* Be Confident Because God Is Sticking With Me


Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” 	Hebrews 13:5-6 NIV

God Himself has said, “I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let you down! Assuredly not!” 	Hebrews 13:5-6 Amp


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... 		Ephesians 1:13-14 NIV

Once you heard the truth and believed it you found yourselves home free—signed, sealed, and delivered by the Holy Spirit. 	Ephesians 1:13 Msg



* Understand What God Has Already Done
I'll make a list of God's gracious dealings, all the things God has done that need praising... 	Isaiah 63:7 Msg

If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 	Romans 10:9 NIV
God ...has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 	Ephesians 1:3 NIV

God ...made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus 	Ephesians 2:5-6 NIV

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. 	Roman 8:29-30 NIV


Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? ...I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 		Romans 8:35-39 NIV




There is now no condemnation 
for those who are in Christ Jesus
