Assurance of Salvation (1)

Greetings Brethren,

Today we begin to address what the Word of God teaches regarding the true believer's assurance of salvation. This is a very important matter, for throughout this series, "The Unconverted 'Believer'", we have sought to reveal and expose nominal Christianity. In doing so, the confidence of tender-hearted Christians can be shaken, for they are more quick to question their own hearts and life than they are to trust solely and only the promises of God in the gospel of Jesus Christ. As we have said all along, it is our desire that every true Christian obtain and retain a joyful, settled peace in the soul that God is his God and that he belongs to Him through Jesus Christ. And so, understanding what the Bible teaches us regarding assurance of salvation is both important and helpful.
