Luke 12:32
12:32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.
John 6:39-40
6:39 Now this is the will of the one who sent me – that I should not lose one person of every one he has given me, but raise them all up
at the last day.
6:40 For this is the will of my Father – for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him up
at the last day.”
John 10:27-30
10:27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
10:28 I give
them eternal life, and they will never perish;
no one will snatch
them from my hand.
10:29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,
and no one can snatch
them from my Father’s hand.
10:30 The Father and I
are one.”
John 17:12
17:12 When I was with them I kept them safe
and watched over them
in your name
that you have given me. Not one
of them was lost except the one destined for destruction,
so that the scripture could be fulfilled.
Romans 8:28-39
8:28 And we know that all things work together
for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,
8:29 because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son
would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
8:30 And those he predestined, he also called; and those he called, he also justified; and those he justified, he also glorified.
8:31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
8:32 Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things?
8:33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
8:34 Who is the one who will condemn? Christ is the one who died (and more than that, he was raised), who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us.
8:35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
8:36 As it is written, “For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
8:37 No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us!
8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers,
8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1:5 He did this by predestining
us to adoption as his
sons
through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure
of his will –
1:6 to the praise of the glory of his grace
that he has freely bestowed on us in his dearly loved Son.
1:7 In him
we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace

Ephesians 1:3-5
Spiritual Blessings in Christ
1:3 Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ.
1:4 For he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world that we may be holy and unblemished in his sight in love.
1:5 He did this by predestining us to adoption as his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his will –
