* ASSURANCE ... * "Read it FOR yourself" ... * 1 John 5: 1-15.

"I have written this to you ... that you may know that you have eternal life" (1 John 5: 13).

"IF we believe God's Word, then we will never doubt the reality of our Salvation". SELWYN HUGHES

"Read it for yourself!"
The story is told of a young Christian who, having accepted Christ, went home that night and before going to sleep, read these words in his Bible:
"He who has the Son has life."
"Thank you, he said, "I know I am saved because the Bible says so." In the night, the adversary came to him and said, "You are not saved. It's all a myth." Switching on the light, he opened his Bible at the verse he had read before, then putting his finger on the verse, said to the foe/devil "There it is - read it for yourself!"

*Prayer:
Lord, how foolish I have been to listen to the/my adversary's doubts. I see so clearly how THIS has caused me to lack the assurance You want me to have. NOW I rest on Your Word and believe Your eternal truth. I am Yours, dear Lord, and You are mine, for time and through eternity. Amen.

P.S: WHAT do you believe??
