being sure

 

     Being sure is being convinced and having absolute confidence in what you believe and see.  For the Christian it is having salvation and all the benefits there of.  Today many believe that you can get to heaven by good works, but the Bible makes it clear it is only but Jesus sacrifice that we can get eternal life.  Works are a result of our faith not the reason. 

     The Bible is evidence of who Jesus is and archeology backs it up as well.  The Bible of course claims that God is the author of its message.  It is a book that transforms lives and its promises are backed up by God himself. 

     Jesus Christ came and yes, he healed, taught but he is so much more than that He is the savior, healer, baptizer in the Holy Spirit and the soon coming king.  Many dismiss Jesus as the Son of God, but his resurrection proved beyond a doubt His claims. 

     People struggle because they base their faith on feeling which change from day to day.  Faith is an act of the will and facts.  We also have the inward witness of the Holy Spirit.  We also have the moral evidence of a changed life and the social evidence of being part of the family of God.  We love and view our fellow Christians with grace and mercy.  We are motivated by compassion and grace.

     Salvation is based up what Jesus did and not we have done.  Our faith is dependant on Jesus’ life, death and resurrection.  Never confuse faith with feelings.  Faith is based on the word of God and changed lives.  The Holy Spirit lives inside giving inward witness and guidance.  This helps you to live in assurance.
