Text:

Hebrews 13:8 ("Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.")

Malachi 3:6 ("For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.")

1. The Saving Power of the Blood- (Romans 5:9 ... "being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.")

2. The Sacred Precepts of the Bible- (Psalm 119:89- "For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven."), (Matthew 24:35- "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.")

(I Peter 1:23-25- (v.23) ... "by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."), (v.24)... "For the flesh is as grass"...), (v. 25)... But the word of the Lord endureth for ever...)

3. The Secure Position of the Believer- (Romans 8:31-39- (v.31)... "If God be for us, who can be against us?), (v.32) "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?",(v.33)... "Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?", (v.34) ... "It is Christ that died, yea, rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.", (v.35) "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?"..., (v.37) "Nay, in all things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us".  (v.38-39)... "shall be able to separate us from the love us God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.) 

John 10:28-29 (v.28) "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."), (v.29) "My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all;"...)
