Never did a believer in Jesus Christ die or drown in his voyage to heaven. They will all be found safe and sound with the Lamb of Mount Zion. Christ loseth none of His – yea nothing of them! Not a bone of a believer is to be seen in the field of battle. They are all more than conquerors through Him that loved them.

Upon what ground is this certainty built? Surely not upon anything that is in us. Our assurance of perseverance is grounded wholly upon God. If we look upon ourselves, we see cause of fear and doubting; but if we look up to God, we shall find cause enough for our assurance.
Rutherford.
Our hope is not hung upon such an untwisted thread as, "I imagine so," or "it is likely." The cable – the strong rope of our fastened anchor – is the oath and promise of Him who is eternal verity. Our salvation is fastened with God's own hand, and Christ's own strength, to the strong stake of God's unchangeable nature.

We cannot come amiss to him that hath assurance. God is his. Hath he lost a friend? - his Father lives. Hath he lost an only child? - God hath given him His only Son. Hath he scarcity of bread? – God hath given him the finest of the wheat, the Bread of Life. Are his comforts gone? - he hath a Comforter. Doth he meet with storms? - he knows where to put in for harbour. God is his portion, and heaven is his haven.
