His Eye is on This Sparrow

Jesus also preserves me in such a way  

• that without the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head; 
• indeed, all things must work together for my salvation. 

For the Bible Tells Me So...

John 6:39,40 “This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.  And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” 

John 10:27-30 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.” 

2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 

1 Peter 1:5 …who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 

Matthew 10:29-31 “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” 

Luke 21:16-18 “You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But not a hair of your head shall be lost….

Therefore, by His Holy Spirit 

• He assures me of eternal life  
• and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him.
