How God Keeps His Saints

How God Keeps Us
• The Father’s keeping of the saints must be understood to be similar to that keeping which Jesus pro-vided. “While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.” (Jn. 17:12).

Here are three things which the Father does to keep His saints.
1. Providence: Matt. 6:13; I Cor, 10: 13, 2 Pet. 2:9, Gen. 20:6
2. Provisions: Acts 20:32, Psa. 119:11, Psa. 119:105, Psa. 119:133, 1 Cor. 12:26, Heb. 10:24-25, Heb. 13:7
3. Restoration: Gal. 6:1, 2 Pet. 3:9, Rom, 2:4, Rev. 2:21, 1 Jn. 1:6-9, 2 Sam. 12, Heb. 7:25
