How can you be sure that you are saved? It’s not on the strength of our feelings, they change all the time. It’s not based on our good behavior, because it’s not always so good. If it doesn’t depend on us, what does it depend on? Tune in this week to The Bible Study Hour as Dr. James Boice teaches us about what the Bible says concerning our relationship with God.
In the running of the Christian life, we can err by looking only at the past; this is sin, for it is a lack of faith in God’s future blessing. But we can also err by looking only at so distant a future that we miss the more immediate blessings that God has in store for us now. If we are really to engage in that great struggle for God’s best, we must also prepare for vigorous spiritual conflict. Our striving is not only against ourselves or circumstances but against the spiritual forces of this world that would seek to hinder us.
