Critical Preposition Proposition
Is assurance inseparable from saving faith—or an added step afterward? This post explores why the tiny preposition “of” matters, and how Scripture presents belief and assurance as inherently linked.
Whether you’re wrestling with Scripture or wondering how to be a better parent or grandparent…or just plain better, pull up a chair – let’s study God’s Word together, have some deep discussions and apply it to real life, one truth at a time.
Is assurance inseparable from saving faith—or an added step afterward? This post explores why the tiny preposition “of” matters, and how Scripture presents belief and assurance as inherently linked.

Besetting sins can discourage believers, but their persistence does not cancel justification. Salvation rests on God’s promises, not our performance. Still, ongoing sin disrupts fellowship with God and can hinder sanctification and perseverance. Through confession, walking in the light, humility, and Spirit-empowered habits of grace—Scripture, prayer, and Christian community—believers can pursue holiness with patience, trusting God’s sufficient grace in the process.
