Assurance in Christ
Brethren,
true godly assurance of salvation comes NOT by looking within
ourselves to see if we have done enough or have grown enough, nor
even to determine if we are sincere enough.
True
godly assurance of salvation comes by God-given faith that causes us
to look only to Christ crucified and risen from the dead and to
Christ as our Great High Priest Who ever lives to make intercession
for us and Who keeps us by His grace and power.
Consider
– In Christ, and by God-given faith in Him, we are assured
in God’s Word that no sin can be charged to us, and we are
righteous in God’s sight based on Christ’s righteousness imputed
to us (ROMANS
4:6-8; 8:33-34).
In
Christ, and by God-given faith in Him, we are assured that we
cannot be condemned by the law or separated from God’s love in
Christ (ROMANS
8:1,35-39).
In
Christ, and by God-given faith in Him, we are assured that
Satan’s and our enemy’s accusations against us are futile because
THEY ARE TURNED BACK BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST and the word of our
testimony which is our salvation secured in and by Christ (REVELATION
12:11).
In
Christ, and by God-given faith in Him, we are assured that not
even the remaining presence, influence, and contamination of our
sinful flesh can bring us to forsake Christ and drag us down into
condemnation (ROMANS
7:24-25).
In
Christ, and by God-given faith in Him, we are assured that the
world cannot defeat us or bring us to condemnation because CHRIST HAS
OVERCOME THE WORLD (JOHN
16:33; ISAIAH
54:17).
