Message: What You Get Is What You Have
Speaker: Dr. Jim Richards
Galatians 2:16 NASB1995
When we discuss “Assurance of Salvation”, it is important that we review the beginning of salvation. When it comes to a right relationship with God, how you get it is how you keep it. There are three truths about assurance we find in this verse.
1. Justification
God declares a believer righteous. Romans 5:1
It is a supernatural act of God! Romans 8:33
2. Works of the Law
All the Mosaic laws both in the ceremonial and moral aspects were given by God and therefore holy and good in themselves. Romans 7:7a, 12
No human deeds, no matter how sincere or extensive, can ever gain a standing before God resulting in justification. Titus 3:5
Works of the law are an attempt to win God’s favor.
3. Faith in Christ
Faith must have as its object the finished work of Christ. Saving faith is a radical gift from God not a human product.
The contrast seen is God’s free initiative in grace versus human efforts toward a self-attained salvation. Galatians 3:11
Justification provides a relationship with God that enables a believer to live righteously. Galatians 5:4-6
DAY 3 – Tuesday, October 27
7:00 p.m. live-streamed only
Message: Blessed Assurance
Speaker: Dr. Jim Richards
1 John 5:13 NASB1995
1. Affection for the Saints – 3:14
John 13:35
We show we love God when we love each other. Love is the birthmark of every believer.
2. Appropriation of the Spirit – 4:13, 4
Romans 8:9
Without the Spirit, a person is not in God’s family.
3. Acceptance of the Savior – 5: 11-12
John 6:44; 37
To believe on Jesus is to have the twin graces of repentance and faith. It is a sovereign work of God when He brings us to the end of ourselves, enlightens our minds and breathes into our Spirit.
DAY 4 – Wednesday, October 28
11:00 a.m. live-streamed only
Message: An Assurance of Salvation Cooperative
Speaker: Vergil Brown
Matthew 18:10-20 NASB1995
The culture of discipleship in the local church gives believers assurance of salvation. Church discipline, which is a part of our discipleship commitment to one another, is a loving way of correcting the erring Christian or exposing a false profession.
1. God is committed to reconciliation. – v. 10-14
2. The Lord uses the church to accomplish the work of reconciliation. – v. 15-17
3. The church acts on the authority of Jesus. – v. 18-20
DAY 4 – Wednesday, October 28
7:00 p.m. live-streamed only
Message: The Fruit of the Gospel
Speaker: Vergil Brown
1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 NASB1995
Paul wrote this opening chapter of 1 Thessalonians to highlight God's work of grace through the Thessalonians. He wrote to give them assurance that their faith was sincere; evidenced by their reception of the gospel and their corresponding good works.
1. Faith assured by works – v. 1-3
2. Faith assured by election – v. 4-5
3. Faith assured by repentance – v. 6-10
