The Basis of Assurance: His Promise, Not Our Perseverance
The believer’s security depends on Christ’s promise, not the believer’s ongoing consistency.
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.
The believer’s security depends on Christ’s promise, not the believer’s ongoing consistency.
The Apostle John doesn’t leave you guessing why the author picked up the pen. In the climax of his Gospel, he provides an explicit blueprint: “these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name” (John 20:31). Salvation is not a labyrinth of moral performance or lifelong striving; it is a free gift received through a single act of faith.
