ASSURANCE! We want assurance on the road when we drive our car! It says here mta assured. Dedicated to better motoring. MTA is short of course for Motor Trade Association. One of these days I am going to look the Association up on the Internet.
What about our assurance of SALVATION? I have said it again and again that we can know now that we do have eternal life. It says so in the BIBLE, the Word of the Living God. First John 5:13!
If we don’t know at this very moment, that we do have eternal life, our spiritual life is very unstable, very fickle indeed.
Dr Martin Lloyd-Jones says:” It is the Holy Spirit alone who finally can give us an unshakable assurance of salvation. There are 3 main ways in which assurance comes to us:
a. There is God’s word; we believe it and rest upon it. Second Timothy 3:16; Second Peter 1:21
b. There are also certain tests of spiritual life.
–‘We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren.’
–…because we no longer find the commandments of the Lord to be grievous. They are a delight to us …
— We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
–We are aware of the Spirit working in us.
–We examine ourselves to see if any of the Spirit’s fruit is manifested in us.
c. Romans 8:15-17; Second Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 1:13,14.
