178 - Who are you looking at for the assurance of salvation? Taught by Grace
-
- Christianity
Whenever someone talks about the assurance of salvation, it’s like having a blank final exam placed in front of us. If we get the true/false questions right and maybe hit the multiple choice ones, we can really know that we’re saved.
If we look at ourselves, we will never be truly assured.
We can always see faults, insufficiencies, and failures in us, therefore, we must look to someone far better. We must behold Jesus Christ.
We must set our current, subjective experience of assurance against the objective work of Christ.
