(Rom 8:31) “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” That is, who can keep us from our inheritance? There are those who would say, “We can keep ourselves from it – lose it.” If spirit-life died, it could not rightly be called “everlasting life”. It could not be called “salvation”, for it did not save from hell. We did not earn it. Then how could we possible keep it? (Rom 11:29) “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” He never takes it back.
