“Your
statutes, Lord, stand firm.” Psalms 93:5a NIV
God
doesn’t change his mind. His value system is forever. If God’s law says that
something is wrong, that we shouldn’t do something – that thing was wrong
yesterday, today and tomorrow, because God’s not about to change his mind.
Similarly,
if God says that we SHOULD do something – that something is good to do, then we
should keep on doing it, because it will remain good for all time.
You
can count on God’s word; God keeps his promises. God promised that if we would
repent and return to Him and ask his Son to cover our sins, that we would be
assured a place in God’s eternal kingdom. Jesus even said that he himself would
go on ahead and prepare a place for us. Therefore we have “Assurance of
Salvation,” and that’s awesome!
No
other religion has “Assurance of Salvation.” With other religions, you try to
be good and hope that it’s enough. But with Christianity, Jesus did all the
work FOR us. With Jesus, our sin problem is permanently resolved, and we don’t
have to worry if we’ll see heaven from the inside – because we have “Assurance
of Salvation!”
God’s
truth lasts forever!
