Have you any other rock but Christ?
I do not ask you whether you have a feeling enjoyment of it. I know you will rejoice in Jesus when the Holy Spirit enables you.
But have you any other refuge?

Genuine Assurance
We draw assurance from the death of Christ, because we realize that it is not possible for Christ to have died in vain (Isaiah 53:9-10).
It is blasphemy to imagine that Christ shed His blood in vain. The intent of Christ in His death cannot be frustrated. He shall see of the travail of His soul [...]

God Helps The Needy
“But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.”
(Psalm 40:17)

No Confidence In The Flesh
What would it mean to you as a sinner to KNOW you possess eternal life?
I know many people live under the false assumption salvation is dependant on a combination of Christ’s death plus their fulfillment of certain conditions. When asked if they know whether or not they are going to heaven their response is usually, [...]

The Assurance Of Salvation
Do you possess the assurance of salvation?
Does that assurance grow to be a firm foundation for your entire life?
If you do not have the assurance of personal salvation in Jesus Christ, why not?
Is it because you, as a child of God, are slothful?
Have you fallen into an inconsistent, sinful walk of life?
Can you testify today [...]

That is an important question. The Scriptures call every believer to take that question seriously and to ask it. Read 2 Peter 1:10. There we are admonished to make our calling and election sure. In 2 Corinthians 13:4, 5 we [...]

Faith Is Assurance: Scripture
True faith is assurance of personal salvation. Because assurance is certainty—absolute certainty (to be redundant)—true faith is certainty of one’s own salvation. It is certainty of deliverance from sin, death, and hell. It is certainty of acceptance into the fellowship of God, which is life eternal. Faith is assurance of salvation by the blood and [...]

Faith’s Assurance
Assurance of salvation is an aspect of true faith. Assurance belongs to the very nature of saving faith. Faith in Jesus Christ according to the gospel of the Scriptures is assurance. Faith is certainty of salvation.
A believer can doubt his salvation. He ought not doubt, but it is possible that he does. But doubt is [...]

Certain Assurance
The assurance of which Scripture speaks and which believers and their children have, and ought to have, is certainty. It is certainty about God, about the spiritual things made known in the Bible, and about salvation. Another word for this spiritual state of the soul of the believer and child of believer is confidence.
This certainty [...]

Empty Assumptions Or Godly Assurance?
Many times we assume, for various reasons, that we ourselves and others are Christians and going to heaven when they die. It may be they profess to believe in Jesus Christ. It may be they go to church, got baptized, attend the church regularly. It may they are moral in our eyes and dedicated to [...]

Assurance Of Salvation
Do you believe, with one hundred percent certainty that you are saved?
Now before we cause more unbelief and lack of assurance than already exist, let us considers the premise of that question. I hope you are saying; ‘Well I thought I was until you ask that question.’ The truth is, it is a bad question. [...]

Can We Know For Sure?
The issue of assurance of salvation seems to be a very touchy one amongst those who profess to believe the Gospel. This is due to a misunderstanding of what real assurance is. Those who profess to believe the Gospel will readily admit that God has an elect people, that He sent Christ to die for [...]
