Salvation’s Assurance
|
|
Ephesians 1:5-8 |
I am accepted because of Christ, never because
of me. My focus is not on how well I fulfill my obedience, but on Him
who is my righteousness, on Him who works in me so that I may become
all He has ordained me to become. |
|
2 Corinthians 5:17 |
I am a new creature in Christ. What I used to be is
dead and has not power to resurrect itself because it has passed away |

2 Timothy 1:9
Romans 5:8
Romans 9:16
John 1:13
James 1:18
Romans 9:1
Jude 1:24
|
My salvation was His idea, His
plan, not mine. I didn’t know how to make Him save and accept me,
and I don’t know how to make Him keep me from falling. But my salvation
and His keeping me are not His two plans but His one plan that He has
purposed to perform.
Since He was able to accomplish the first part of His plan when I was
His enemy, why should I doubt His ability and desire to finish all of
His plan for me now that I am His son?
I rest in His ability to bring about His will toward me. |

God is willing, able, faithful, and
desirous to establish, keep, and preserve me. I can not ultimately
frustrate His purpose for it is my deepest desire that He be Lord of my
life.
And He has no lack of ability in being able to keep me. Since He saw my
every choice from the beginning of time, He foreknew all the choices I
could make after His salvation. He knew even my most foolish, stupid
and rebellious choices but that did not prevent Him from accomplishing
all that He has purposed and determined for me. |
