Yahweh-Jireh or Jehovah Jireh is a name that is often used for our God. It mean God Provides. Jireh is also a term meaning seeing or one who sees. It is similar to the term El Roi, The God Who Sees. God sees us in our need and our distress and works to make all things right. Sometimes He gets us out of the storm and other times He helps us through the storm to make us stronger.

Putting Away the Doubt of Salvation
Many worry if they are really saved or not. They doubt that just believing is enough. John lets us know. Throughout the New Testament God’s Word tells us that we cannot earn our salvation but God through His love, sent Jesus to pay for our sins by dying on the cross. Not only that, but Christ was raised from the dead defeating death and sin. He paid the price. We are saved by grace through our faith by trusting that only through Jesus Christ are we saved. It is a gift of God. In this little series we discussed how we are saved; what happens when we are saved; the assurance and promises God gives to those of us who are saved, and what salvation does not look like. Today we will answer the specific question of how do we know that we are saved.

God gives us grace. God gives us mercy. The Bible says that He wills that no one would perish but all come to repentance. But He gives us a choice. And with that choice, He gives us assurance. He has promised believers many things and He always keeps His promise. He promises us that all who believe in His Son will have eternal life. He assures us of that. He says He will never leave us or forsake us, and nothing can separate us from His love.

Who we are in Christ. That is a question many of us ask ourselves and if we remember this, we would not have the fear, doubt, shame, anxiety or lack of confidence that we often do. We would have the fruit of the Spirit…love, joy, peace…we would remember the hope that is in us. We would be encouraged knowing that we are His children, and we would have boldness to share with others so that they can have what we have. God gave us a gift, not only in the life to come but in the life we have now.

November is right around the corner and so are the elections. Scary, right?! But God tells us again and again there is no need to fear. Do not worry. He is in control. Even if we end up with someone in office we do not like or is a tyrant or is not qualified, God has a plan and we need not fear. Many do not have the freedoms we have here in the U.S. Let us be grateful for what we have while we still have it (and pray for those who don’t). We know that there will be tough times ahead, but we also know we have hope in Jesus and that one day He will return. But more than that we can have peace and joy now, no matter what the outcome or circumstances we face in the future.
