153 – Assurance in Jesus Christ!

As we begin a new year, I can think of no better subject to examine than that of Assurance. One of the most important issues in becoming a strong Christian is the issue of assurance or confidence. Assurance is defined as certainty, sureness, confidence, hope, or expectation. Assurance as a Christian means that we believe in all that Jesus has said and done on our behalf. Another word we could use is confidence. As a Believer, we are confident in our relationship with Jesus, the love of the Father, and the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The Lord did not send Jesus to us so that we would be in doubt of all the rights and privileges of being a Believer. Remember, we are to be witnesses to Jesus. Therefore, the assurance of how we live our lives and speak testifies that what we are saying and displaying is true! Why else would anyone believe our testimony? Our assurance or confidence makes others wonder about our faith and want to know more. “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15.
