Unshakable Salvation

FCF: In suffering, we are prone to doubt whether God’s salvation is truly secure and sufficient.

Big Idea: God has given His people an unshakable salvation.

1. God’s salvation gives us a living hope. (vv. 3-5)

2. God’s salvation provides grace to endure suffering. (vv. 6-9)

- "Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering. The love of God did not protect His own Son. He will not necessarily protect us— not from anything it takes to make us like His Son. A lot of hammering and chiseling and purifying by fire will have to go into the process.” —Elisabeth Elliot…

- "I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the Rock of Ages.” —CH Spurgeon

3. God’s salvation is rooted in the reliability of His redemptive plan. (vv. 10-12)
