Text: 1 John 1:2-3 "(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3. That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ."
Luke 10:21 "In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight."

Luke 10:22 "All things
are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me [the Son], except it were given unto him of my Father."
John 17:2 "As thou hast given him (the Son) power over all flesh, that he (the Son) should give eternal life to as many as thou (the Father) hast given him (the Son)."
John 10:27-29 "My sheep (those the Father gave the Son) hear my voice, and I know them (those the Father gave the Son), and they (those the Father gave the Son) follow me: 28. And I give unto them (those the Father gave the Son) eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29. My Father, which gave them (those the Father gave the Son) me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them (those the Father gave the Son) out of my Father's hand."
John 17:6-10 "I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them."

Romans 8:29-34 "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
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?
33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect (those forknown, predestinated)? It is God that justifieth.
34. Who is he that condemneth? 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."
