In this message, we are returning to the subject of assurance of salvation. There are some basic principles regarding assurance of salvation. - false assurance is possible - true assurance is possible Why, then, should we give diligence to seeking assurance and how should we go about it?
1. Benefits of assurance We should give diligence to seeking salvation because when we have assurance we experience joy in our Christian walk. Why is the Christian who is assured of his salvation joyful? - because he has no fear - because assurance lightens the burdens of living in a fallen world - because he can have confidence in death
2. Obtaining of assurance How can we obtain assurance? First, the foundation of our assurance, or sonship, must be Christ's work for us. Secondly, there is also a gradual transformation of sonship by the work of the Spirit in us. Thirdly, there is the gracious confirmation of sonship by the witness of the Spirit to us.
