Assurance of Salvation (7)
  1. The lesson of Malachi reveals God’s love for his people. When the people ask for proof of God’s love, he reminds them of their election.
  2. We surrender confidence in God because we lack faith in Christ, and we lack faith in Christ because we rebel against the fact that each, single moment of self-destruction is nailed to that cross.
  3. The devil isn’t a popular subject nowadays. The argument is made that we’ve progressed as a culture.
  4. Jesus is faithful even when we are faithless. He is our Strength, and Song, and Salvation. He's all this for us because He is God, and God is love.
  5. "What do you mean, 'Confess that I don't believe in God?' I'm a Christian. Of course I believe in God!"
  6. So, what do we do when someone doesn't believe God's promise of forgiveness, life, and eternal salvation is for him?
  7. “As if” Christians aren’t allowed to reflect; that they’re not kind, generous, brave, or loyal. They’re not living up to the example of biblical saints.
