Episode notes
Foundation of Assurance: Justification
- Assurance of salvation is fundamentally grounded in the doctrine of justification by faith alone. - Christians' standing before God depends on clothing themselves with Christ's righteousness, not their own behavior.
Spirit and Fruit in Assurance
- True assurance also involves the Spirit's witness and visible fruit in believers' lives. - Living in willful sin hampers the secondary level of assurance based on sanctification evidence.
Perseverance and Divine Adoption
- The doctrine of perseverance assures believers that God will not revoke their adoption as His children. - True children of God have absolute assurance nothing can separate them from Christ's love.
