Blessed Assurance


Haven’t you heard people say; “I’m a good person, I’ve never stolen anything or intentionally hurt anyone. I’ve never killed anyone or anything bad like that.” Others have said; “Look, I go to church every Sunday and I read my Bible, I think I’ll be going to heaven.” Unfortunately, unless they tend to one very important detail they will never see heaven. Being a good person, reading our Bible and going to church every time the door is opened won’t get us into heaven! Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Only by making a commitment to personally accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior can we be sure of our eternal destiny in heaven.

There are many good, church-going people who lack this blessed assurance and their perspective of life is affected by this lacking. How can we experience the joy of the Lord if we are not sure of our salvation? How can we have salvation if we don’t completely trust in our Lord Jesus?

To have salvation we must trust Jesus, we must confess our sins to Him, ask His forgiveness, believe that He died on the cross, believe that He is the Son of God, and ask Him to come into our hearts changing us forever to be more like Himself.

You may wonder what does salvation have to do with healing? God through His grace and mercy may choose to heal those who have not accepted His Son for reasons that are His alone. He is a loving God! This life we live is very short; our bodies and health are not perfect; we all suffer from one thing or another. When we die as born-again Christians having invited Jesus into our hearts and confessed our sins to Him, when He comes again we will arise with Him to heaven with perfect bodies free from all disease, sorrow and pain! So, salvation I believe has everything to do with healing. Invite Him into your heart now; His healing is everlasting!

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...

A Promise is a Promise

When you were a child did your parents ever promise to take you somewhere special for your birthday? Maybe they promised you could stay up late with them the night of your birthday? You never doubted their promises did you? I mean, a promise is a promise. If they told you they were going to do something you just knew it was going to happen! I remember how excited I was when my parents promised me something and they gave it to me!  I’ll never forget how I trusted them. Neither can I forget the promises God has made and kept for me in my lifetime. He has always been faithful to deliver what He has promised to me. Sometimes the evil one tries to convince me God hasn’t delivered though. He tries to convince me God changes His mind. Its times like this that I will to remain strong. I read what God says and declare how great my God is! Just because we don’t see His fulfillment according to our understanding at that particular time does not mean He hasn’t done it or isn’t going to do ...
