Charles H. Spurgeon wrote, "As a believer, you are one with Jesus. Therefore you are secure. You will be confirmed to the end until the day of his appearing." In those words, Spurgeon spoke of every believer as confirmed in Christ. That means we are secure in Christ.
Be secure in Christ through salvation. As the human race is in Adam through sin, so believers are in Jesus Christ through salvation from sin (Romans 5:19). As we were born with a sin nature in Adam, so we are born again as a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Be secure in Christ through new birth. Every true believer is born of the Spirit. We have been born again unto faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. As we are one with Adam in our first birth, so we are one with Jesus Christ in our new birth.
Be secure in Christ through the Holy Spirit. We are baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13). Christ is the head, and we are the body. As Adam was the head of the human race, so Jesus Christ is the head of the church, which is his body (Colossians 1:18).
Be secure in Christ through his death and resurrection (Romans 6:5-6). We have died to the old life, buried with Christ, we are risen with him in newness of life. Water baptism is the symbol of our death, burial and resurrection with Christ (Romans 6:3-4). Therefore, Spurgeon said, "As a believer, you are one with Jesus." That means believers are secure in Christ.
