Blessed Assurance

Lord, We Give You Glory And Honor For The Assurance Of Our Salvation And Our Deliverance. Amen.

All of us have said at one time or another, "You just can't be sure of anything." Life is full of many uncertainties, and we wonder what will happen next. We ask ourselves, are we the playthings of time and circumstance? Is there no place to stand or no foundation on which we can build? Is it true that we cannot be sure of anything? Not at all! For you see that glaring generality stands in direct contrast to the glorious certainties revealed in the Word of God.

Briefly, let us look at two of them as presented by Paul in the wonderful and comforting words of Romans chapter 8. "In Christ, There Is No Condemnation." This is the good news of the gospel, according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, as well as the gospel according to Paul. No condemnation! Salvation for those "in Christ Jesus" is one of Paul's favorite expressions. Can you be sure? Yes, you can.
