So I went looking for the Scriptures that prove assurance and found all three persons of the Trinity clearly at work in this ministry:<br /><br />The Father in Romans 14:4 <br />Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master1 that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. <br /><br />The Son in John 10:28 <br />I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.<br /><br />The Spirit in 2 Corinthians 5:5 <br />He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.<br /><br />So as the Father has determined to uphold me, the Son possesses me, and the Spirit is in me as a guarantee, what doubt can ever upset my assurance for more than a moment?appointed2lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17075530388452038684noreply@blogger.com
