In Christ alone, we are preserved from the gates of hell and reserved for the glory of heaven. So, we have nothing to fear, as we are kept by Him while here. "Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy" (Jude 24).

To be a bond-servant to Jesus is to be a recipient of His freedom and forgiveness. You see, when we are bound to Christ, the life of Christ abounds in us. "Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin" (Romans 6:6).

We see the death of death in the death of Christ. And through this atonement, we have life of life in the life of Christ. In Him, death died so life can live. "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive" (I Corinthians 15:22).

This may be counter intuitive, but it's true and redemptive. And it's how affliction can be considered good when the affliction brings us to God. "It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes" (Psalm 119:71).

Jesus is the only who can deconstruct the sin-twisted soul and reconstruct it into something whole. He is the only one who can redeem what's seemingly doomed. "The LORD redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned" (Psalm 34:22).
