Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.
ACTS 2:21

Three big errors I often hear about salvation are: “I’ve sinned too much to be saved;” “I’ve committed the unpardonable sin;” and “I don’t think my salvation will last.”

If you’ve struggled with any of these, be encouraged—Jesus took care of all these concerns at the cross. First, He’s forgiven all transgressions committed throughout all history. There’s no such thing as “sinning too much”—His sacrifice is more than adequate for whatever you’ve done. In fact, His redemption is sufficient for the whole world (John 3:16).

Second, the only “unpardonable sin” is to reject Jesus as your Savior. This is what is meant by “blasphemy against the Spirit” (Matthew 12:31)—you refuse God’s provision of salvation. Once you’re a believer, you’re no longer capable of committing this sin.

Finally, just as you didn’t earn your salvation—you accepted it as a free gift from Jesus—you cannot “undo” it (Ephesians 2:8–9). No matter how badly you fail, He still saves you.

Friend, Jesus is your eternal security. Don’t worry about issues He’s overcome. Rather, live your life as a “thank You” to Him. Father, thank You for making me eternally secure. I praise You with my life forever, amen.

In His presence . . . surrender completely.
