July 30 Evening Devotional | A Permanent Promise | Morning and Evening by C.H. Spurgeon

Evening, July 30 | “The one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.” —John 6:37 (NASB)

This Evening's Scripture Reading: John 6:35-40 (NASB)

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”

Devotional Video Transcript:

No limit is set to the duration of this promise. It does not merely say, “I will not cast out a sinner at his first coming,” but, “I will in no wise cast out.” The original reads, “I will not, not cast out,” or “I will never, never cast out.” The text means, that Christ will not at first reject a believer; and that as he will not do it at first, so he will not to the last.

But suppose the believer sins after coming? “If anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” (1 John 2:1 NASB) But suppose that believers backslide? “I will heal their apostasy, I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from them.” (Hosea 14:4 NASB) But believers may fall under temptation! “God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13 NASB) But the believer may fall into sin as David did! Yes, but he will “Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow”; (Psalm 51:7 NASB) “I will cleanse them from all their iniquity.” (Jeremiah 33:8 NASB)

“Once in Christ, in Christ for ever,
Nothing from his love can sever.”

Jesus said, “I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.” (John 10:28 NASB) What do you say to this, O trembling feeble mind? Is not this a precious mercy, that coming to Christ, you do not come to One who will treat you well for a little while, and then send you about your business, but he will receive you and make you his bride, and you shall be his forever. Receive no longer the spirit of bondage again to fear, but the spirit of adoption whereby you shall cry, Abba, Father! Oh! the grace of these words: “I will certainly not cast out.”
