Knowing We are Saved and the Assurances and Promises God Gave Us

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.

He saved us from our evil (sinful) nature, from what is in our hearts. If we accept that gift, we are saved from sin, we will receive God’s grace. Unfortunately, we have to live with our mistakes, but we can also learn from them. But sin is much more serious. Sin leads to death. Without the blood that Christ shed for us, we are doomed for hell. But, when we trust in Jesus, we have an inheritance in heaven. No matter what we have done in the past, He will forgive us.
