Secure for Sure! (20 of 34)
Series: Good News from God
Keith Krell
Romans 8:31-39
In 1937 the great Golden Gate Bridge was completed. It cost over $35 million to build and was completed in two phases: the first slowly and the second rapidly. In the first stage, no safety devices were used. As a result, twenty-three men fell to their deaths. However, for the final part of the project, a large safety net was used as a precaution.

Reflecting on your life, you realize that you have little or no security in those areas where you crave it most. Fortunately, in the single area that truly matters most-your relationship with God-you can have ultimate security. The Bible declares that God offers believers His unconditional love and acceptance.

Perhaps you have experienced rejection and betrayal from a spouse, from relatives, or from friends. Consequently, you are skeptical and cynical of people because you have been hurt so many times. I hurt for you and that's why I want you to know that God's love for you is perfect and He will never let you go. He yearns for you to ...
