Introduction

It is possible to be a Christian and yet not enjoy Christian certainty. One of the devil s main devices is to rob the Christian of the joy of salvation—because he knows he cannot rob him of the fact of salvation. Here s how you can be sure that you are a child of God:

I. The Word of God

1) The Word of God Provides Christian Certainty

(John 20:31; 1 John S:13)

2) The Word of God Produces Christian Certainty

(James 1:18; 1 Pet. 1:23)

3) The Word of God Promotes Christian Certainty

(Rom. 10:17; JS:4)

II. The Work of Christ

1) The Believer s Justification (Rom. 3:24)

2) The Believer s Sanctification (Heb. 10:10, 14)

3) The Believer s Glorification (Rom. 8:28-30)

III. The Witness of the Spirit

1) A New Sense of Relationship (Rom. 8:14-16)

2) A New Sense of Resourcefulness (Rom. 8:17)

3) A New Sense of Responsibility (Rom. 8:17-18)

Conclusion

Praise God we can rest upon this threefold basis for the experience of Christian certainty.
