Peace And Full Assurance

"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." - John 8:36 KJV

I spoke to a man yesterday who was worried about his eternal destiny. Something happened that took him by surprise and it rocked his world. Then the thought came, 'If I can be so wrong about this what if I'm wrong about my salvation?'

I asked him, 'Why are you saved? How did it happen? Was it you or Jesus that made that happen? Is it something you did or are doing or is it that Jesus died and rose again?'

"Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.' " - Mark 10:27 ESV

Jesus said,
"Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me." - John 14:1 ESV

There are people who think they are going to Heaven but won't. They think something they did will get them there but it won't. Going to Heaven is impossible for man but God makes it possible though His Son.

A question like, 'Am I one of the elect or not?' can and has driven men crazy. It is just a bad question based on bad information.

Jesus is alive after dying a horrible death. That is impossible with men. Jesus and only Jesus can make you free indeed. If it is about Him in your mind. If it was only about Him just for a moment in your mind then a transfer has happened that is beyond you.

"Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:" - Colossians 1:12-14 KJV

One moment of trusting Jesus guarantees a transfer out from under a power we do not understand that binds us up into a kingdom that progressively sets us free.

Trust Him. Trust only Him. He can do the impossible by making a place for you at His table forever.
