John 6:37

 John 6:37 says, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.  After just telling those following Him that they didn't believe Him even though they had seen Him, He said that all the Father gave Him, He should no wise cast out.  Some would use this verse to say that some are preordained to be saved, those given by the Father.  We have to understand it in the context of the next verses.  There would certainly be no security in salvation if we could not even know for sure that we were one of those given by the Father.  Verse thirty-eight adds, For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. Jesus said He came down out of heaven, not to do His own will, but the will of the Father.  It wasn't the Father's will that Jesus be an earthly King, nor simply a miracle worker.  He was to be and is the Savior. When we become His followers, we are called to do the will of the Father, and not our own. Verse thirty-nine continues, And 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 Jesus said that the will of the Father was that He would lose nothing given to Him but raise it up again the last day.  If we have given our life to Him by faith in His salvation given to us, we will be secured to everlasting life.  Verse forty concludes, And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.  This is the Good News for everyone.  Jesus said that anyone who saw the Son, and believed on Him, should have everlasting life, and Jesus would raise Him up the last day.  Though we cannot look to Jesus physically, we can and must look to Him spiritually as the Son of God and our Savior.  We see in this verse that salvation is secured to any who believes on Jesus.  Salvation is available to all but is only secured for those who believe in Jesus and accept Him as Savior.  Security in the world, based on worldly things, is often not very secure.  Security based on God is everlastingly secured by Jesus.  We have no reason to worry.
