Nothing makes us more uncertain and insecure than not being sure we are in the will of God.  And nothing is more encouraging than knowing for sure that we are.

From 1 John 2:17:  “And the world and its desire are passing away, but those who do the will of God abide forever.”

There is no such thing as part-time loyalty to Jesus Christ.

Faith is not a blind, irrational conviction.  In order to believe, we must know what we believe, and the grounds on which our faith rests.

From 1 Corinthians 2:4-5:  “My speech and my proclamation were made not with persuasive words of wisdom but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God.”

Charles Hodge (1797-1878) was an American theologian and Christian teacher.

Nothing is impossible with God.  Will you ask the Lord to handle that specific impossibility, and then leave it with Him in a faith that simply will not doubt?

From Jeremiah 32:17:  “Ah Lord God!  It is You who made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm!  Nothing is too hard for You.”

From John 12:35-36:  “Jesus said to them, ‘The light is in you for a little longer.  Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you.  If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going.  While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.'”
