In the context of the Bible, the concept of being "secured" often relates to the assurance and protection provided by God to His people. This security is both spiritual and, at times, physical, reflecting God's covenantal promises and His faithfulness to those who trust in Him.

Divine Protection and Assurance

The Bible frequently emphasizes God's role as a protector and provider, ensuring the safety and security of His followers. In Psalm 91:1-2 , it is written, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'" This passage highlights the security found in God's presence, portraying Him as a refuge and fortress for believers.

Spiritual Security in Christ

The New Testament further develops the theme of security through the work of Jesus Christ. Believers are assured of their salvation and eternal life, secured by their faith in Him. In John 10:28-29 , Jesus declares, "I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand. My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand." This passage underscores the eternal security of believers, emphasizing the power and sovereignty of God in safeguarding their salvation.

The Role of Faith

Faith is a critical component in experiencing the security offered by God. Hebrews 11:1 states, "Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see." This assurance is a form of spiritual security, rooted in the promises of God and the believer's trust in His faithfulness.

Security in God's Promises

Throughout Scripture, God's promises serve as a foundation for the believer's security. In Romans 8:38-39 , the Apostle Paul writes, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." This passage affirms that nothing can sever the bond between God and His people, providing profound security in His unchanging love.

Physical Security and Provision

While spiritual security is paramount, the Bible also addresses physical security and provision. In Matthew 6:31-33 , Jesus instructs, "Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans strive after all these things, and your Heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." Here, Jesus reassures His followers of God's provision for their physical needs, encouraging them to prioritize their relationship with Him.

Conclusion

The biblical concept of being "secured" encompasses both spiritual and physical dimensions, rooted in God's promises and the believer's faith. Through His protection, provision, and the assurance of salvation, God offers a profound sense of security to those who trust in Him.(imp. & p. p.) of Secure.2819. kleros -- a lot
