We believe that everyone God has reconciled to Himself is kept by God’s power and is thus secure in Christ (John 6:37-40, 10:27-30; Romans 8:1, 38,39).  We believe that followers of Jesus Christ see evidence that our reconciliation is real when we persevere in obedience to Christ (1 Corinthians 9:24-27; Galatians 5:22-25; 1 John 1:8; 2:2) and when our Father corrects our disobedience (Hebrews 12:4-11).
