Real Assurance (1 John 3:18-24) 1 Thing Matters
-
- Spirituality
Self-assurance is a fickle thing. Ask the best golfers in the world how much confidence they have when they suddenly start to struggle just to qualify for the very tournaments they used to win. Self-assurance is at a high when we perform well, but as soon as we stumble in some area of life, our faith in ourselves flounders. That’s why real assurance - especially of where we stand with God - simply cannot come from ourselves. It must come from somewhere else. And it does.
It comes from God himself who alone provides the assurance we so desperately seek.
