Rest In Assurance
We live by faith, not by sight. Faith in Christ pleases God. It is not works, but one work, that is required, a faith that would enable you to rely on Christ and from such faith to lead a Christ-like life. God promised to be with you, and his Son died to make that possible. He who has called you is faithful, and if you trust him he will save you. Your faith will remind you to whom you truly belong. In Jesus Christ, go boldly to God. Rest in assurance.
The Father gives me (Jesus) my people. Every one of them will come to me, and I will always accept them. I came down from heaven to do what God wants me to do, not what I want to do. Here is what the One who sent me wants me to do: I must not lose even one whom God gave me, but I must raise them all on the last day. Those who see the Son and believe in him have eternal life, and I will raise them on the last day. This is what my Father wants. John 6:37-40
Can anything separate us from the love Christ has for us? Can troubles or problems or sufferings or hunger or nakedness or danger or violent death? As it is written in the Scriptures: “For you we are in danger of death all the time. People think we are worth no more than sheep to be killed.” But in all these things we have full victory through God who showed his love for us. Yes, I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor ruling spirits, nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us, nothing below us, nor anything else in the whole world will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35-39
In Christ we can come before God with freedom and without fear. We can do this through faith in Christ. Ephesians 3:12
Now may God himself, the God of peace, make you pure, belonging only to him. May your whole self — spirit, soul, and body — be kept safe and without fault when our Lord Jesus Christ comes. You can trust the One who calls you to do that for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
The world and everything that people want in it are passing away, but the person who does what God wants lives forever. 1 John 2:17
