Psalms 18:2
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; by buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Psalms 18:2
David adds one comparison after another to give some idea of the security and safety that the believer finds in the Lord; and if we could add a thousand more, they would all be inadequate. There are many people who say, “Oh I would love to turn my life over to Jesus, but I am afraid that I could not hold out, or continue serving Him. Jesus said, “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37. There is nothing here about falling away. If Jesus were to lose some soul that came to Him, it would be contrary to the next verse, “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.” John 6:38. The true reason that someone will not come to Christ is found in John 10:26,27. “But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”
