Scriptures Weekly 47 - Blessed Assurance

Are you a Christian who questions your Salvation thinking your fine, then you sin and you think your out of favor with God? Then your OK then your not again and the YoYo of life in Christ just seems to continue? Lets see what Gods Word says about this issue and how to remain untangled and at peace in our walk. If your not a Christian this may help you in your studies as you seek God in His Word, the Bible.

1 John 1:7,

"But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."

The study of 1 John by chapters covers:

Chapter 1 - Continual Cleansing
Chapter 2 - Perfect Propitiation
Chapter 3 - Destroying Doubt
Chapter 4 - Fixing the Fear
Chapter 5 - Complete Confidence

Walking in the light is the operative action on our part to have continual cleansing of our sins. This doesn't mean we have to be perfect in our every move and decision while we are walking in the light. What it means is, we have an attitude that puts Christ first in every decision and choice in life, that we are striving even though we fall from time to time. After all, we are human and God knows that. Its an attitude. In Christ, we have an advocate that fixes our sin if we continue walking in the light. We at times will have doubts but God is greater than our hearts. He wants us to know we have continual cleansing, removing doubt, giving us confidence before God.

God knows we have fear about the judgment day but we can have confidence knowing the love God has for us while we abide in Him, we then can cast out fear. Finally, when we keep His commandments we can have complete confidence with joy before God.

So, what is the practical daily remedy we must do to remain in the light with full assurance?

1 John 1:9,

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 

This video lesson explains these truths in easily understood terms that will encourage the Christian and educate the seeker. May you be blessed.
