NT Promise 69: Kept for Salvation

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

God promises to keep us unto salvation. The Holy Spirit keeps the whole Christian Church on earth with Jesus Christ in the one true faith. ”Nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord [Romans 8:39].” We can count on the Enemy to tempt and try to make us fall away and separate from God, but we can confidently place our lives in His hands to keep us by the power of God through faith unto salvation.

Once we have come to saving faith in Christ we may fear that we will lose that salvation and eternal life before we actually die and go to God. We may be certain of Life and Salvation now, but will we still believe when it is time to die? The answer is: “Yes, you will. I will keep you.” It is the power of God that will keep us through faith. He births the faith and maintains it.

In the last time this salvation will be revealed. Then we will see with new eyes what Salvation really means and what it looks like. We will see the death and hell we are saved from and enjoy the wonderful life we are saved for. We have salvation now, and we shall be kept in it until its full glory is revealed.
