Page 4 - Eternal LIfe

LOST - CHILD OF GOD Many children of God

Elder Ralph Harris labor under the false idea that it

is possible for them to lose

their eternal life. But lost eter-

nal life is an oxymoron. It is a

glaring contradiction of terms.
Christ says of His people, "I give

unto them eternal life, and they

shall never perish." (John 10:28,
17:2)

Had Eternal Life, Lost it Over Summer

This statement alone settles the matter and should be enough

for any sober - thinking person, but He nails it down even fur-

ther when He goes on to show that no man is able to pluck
them out of His hand or His Father's hand (ver 29). In John

6:38-39 He declares that He came down from heaven to do the

will of His Father and He tells us what that will was: "This is the
Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given

me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the

last day."

God’s People Cannot be Finally Lost

Any scripture presented in an effort to contradict these plain

statements are obviously misunderstood, misapplied, and

misinterpreted. The Bible does not contradict itself. I sup-
pose anyone would agree that the truth is better than error.

Hence, the Bible doctrine of the security of the saints is far

better than the doctrine which asserts that God's people can

be eternally lost.
