Assurance of Salvation

The five verses you will memorize and study in Lessons on Assurance will equip you for your first encounters with the enemy. His first approach is often to cast doubt on the work God has done in your heart. Although you won’t hear his audible voice, he will whisper this in your mind:

“You don’t think you are saved and your sins forgiven just by believing and receiving Christ? Surely that is not enough!”

What will your answer be? Your only hope of successfully resisting such an attack is to resort to God’s Word. What does God say about the matter? That is the important thing for you to know.

On the basis of this “testimony” — God’s written Word — you can be convinced you have the Lord Jesus Christ, and with Him eternal life. You can thus overcome in this first test of your faith. The attack may recur, but now you can meet it with the Word of God in your heart.
