"A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever." vs1

The believer abides forever. We're not given temporary salvation. The whole thing is utterly secure until the finish line, because God is our keeper. 1 Peter 1:5, "who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." It's his strength, goodness, and faithfulness; it's Christ who died to save us, the Father's great and patient love, and the Holy Spirit's power. Nothing can stop this trifecta of goodness and infinite sovereignty.

Let your conscience be clear, and your heart be full. God's for you, and you are safe. You're not on a performance plan. Grace will save you!

Secondly, God delivers us from sin. He knows how weak we are, so he conquers Satan and subdues the flesh. Psalm 125:3 — "For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous stretch out their hands to do wrong." He doesn't allow us to be too tempted, and he gives us the way to escape.

Satan is restrained, temptations lose their power, and we're delivered from falling. We have the advantage of God on our side.

Let your confidence and humility be great. God is our keeper. Run to him at all times. Don't try to be good enough. Accept free grace to change your heart and actions. Look steadfastly into God's love, and draw near. Arise, and go to Jesus. He'll save you. He's God's appointed Deliverer!

Thirdly, peace is only for those in Christ. Psalm 125:5 — "But those who turn aside to their crooked ways the LORD will lead away with evildoers! Peace be upon Israel!"

God's elect, brought to faith in Christ, are the only safe people. Eradicate all thoughts of universal love and safety. Only those in Christ have the promises and good rewards. Only those who are upright have the gospel in truth. These walk in love, and stick to Christ's grace, diligently observing his teaching, and surrendering their lives to the Lamb. Revelation 12:11 - "They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not love their lives
in the face of death."

It's a package deal. If you want safety, then trust the Lord. If not, then DANGER IS ALL AROUND YOU. "Those who turn aside to their crooked ways the LORD will lead away with evildoers!" You are fighting with God, and hiding from the All-Seeing. This vain and empty life leads to everlasting wrath.
