Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to be 'engraved on God's palms'?

Isaiah 49:16 uses the image of permanent engraving — not written in pencil but carved into God's very hands. This speaks of permanent, intimate, unforgettable love. You are not an afterthought to God — you are literally inscribed on His being.

Can anything remove me from God's hands?

John 10:28-29 gives a double guarantee — held in Jesus' hand AND the Father's hand. The Greek is emphatic: 'no one' (nothing, no power, no circumstance) is able to snatch you away. Your security rests in God's keeping power, not your holding power.
