God Will Never Let You Go - Eternally Secure!

Have you ever wondered if you can lose your salvation? What happens when you fail, struggle with doubt, or walk through seasons of suffering? In this encouraging episode of Finish The Race, Eric Thompson explores one of the greatest promises in all of Scripture: nothing can separate God's children from His love. Through Romans 8:38-39 and other key passages, you'll discover the biblical foundation for the believer's assurance and the security found in Jesus Christ.

Sproul, John MacArthur, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, and John Piper, this episode examines the Reformed doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. From God's eternal election to Christ's ongoing intercession, Scripture reveals that salvation is God's work from beginning to end, and He will never lose those whom He has redeemed. If you've been battling fear, guilt, or uncertainty, this message will point you back to the unchanging faithfulness of God. Death cannot separate you. Satan cannot separate you. Your failures cannot separate you. If you belong to Christ, you are secure in Him forever. Stand firm in truth, walk in grace, and finish the race. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

God Never Promised Happiness | Finish The Race Daily

Everyone wants to be happy, but God calls His children to something deeper and more lasting—joy. In this encouraging Finish The Race Daily devotional, we explore the biblical difference between happiness and joy and why Christians can rejoice even when life is difficult. Through Scripture and practical application, you'll discover why joy is rooted in Christ rather than changing circumstances. The world tells us to pursue comfort, success, and personal fulfillment. But the Bible teaches that true joy is found in the presence of God. Learn how the Apostle Paul could rejoice from prison, why God is more concerned with our holiness than our happiness, and how gratitude helps cultivate a joyful heart that endures through every season of life. If you've struggled with disappointment, anxiety, or the constant pursuit of happiness, this message will encourage you to fix your eyes on Jesus Christ and walk joyfully in the Lord. Because happiness depends upon circumstances—but joy depends upon Christ, and Christ never changes. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
