Virginian Colonel Byrd was condemned to death by the Cherokee Indians. In that tribe there was a chief who had been a friend to him.
That chief said, “This man is my friend; before you can get
at him, you must kill me.” The Cherokees let him go free.
The believer is held safely in Christ's hand. Before the
believer could lose his salvation, Christ would have to be overcome; and that
is impossible.

Rom 8:38-39 (CEB): “I’m convinced that nothing can separate
us from God’s love in Christ Jesus our Lord: not death or life, not angels or
rulers, not present things or future things, not powers or height or depth, or any other thing that
is created.”
“The answer of our prayers is secured by the fact that in
rejecting them God would in a certain sense deny His own nature.” - John
Calvin.
