Blessed Assurance

Blessed Assurance


For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
Romans 5:10 NIV
After several years of faith walking (or maybe the truth is that the Lord has been carrying me) I still sometimes wonder, still sometimes ask of God, "Do I really belong to you?" Do you ever have doubts about your relationship with God?
You may wonder how a person can doubt his or her faith? Well, when a believer does or says things that don't represent God (and we all do that from time to time) the doubts can sometimes come rolling in. Or maybe we sought God on some specific need and He did not answer the way we expected…, more doubts can arise. When we see the "care free" attitude of those that don't love God, we might wonder, "What's wrong with us? Why am I missing out on the fun?" And after a time of enduring personal failures and disappointments, you may now see how worry and doubt could set in. If you are filled with worry and doubt, I have one question; "Have you accepted Christ as savior?"
If you answered yes, then consider the fact that you have ceased being an enemy of God and are now wrapped in the blessed assurance of salvation that exists nowhere else but in Christ. If God sought us out and saved us while we were His enemies, how much more are we assured of hope and salvation in the resurrection of Christ? Or, let me put it this way, now that we have been reconciled to God by the death and resurrection of Christ, there isn't anything too high or too low, any principality or powers, not anything in the future or past that can separate us from the love of God that comes by way of Christ!
