TWO WORDS OF ASSURANCE
Wednesday, July 26, 2017
1Corinthians 15:12-14 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some
among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no
resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen,
then is our preaching vain, and your
faith is also vain.
2Corinthians
4:18 While we look not at the
things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen:
for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Hebrews 11:1-3 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we
understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which
are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Apologetics; [uh-pol-uh-jet-iks] /əˌpɒl əˈdʒɛt ɪks/ noun, ( used with a singular verb) 1. the
branch of theology concerned with the defense or proof of Christianity.
If nothing else in
the way of eternal security apologetics, the Word living and written presents two
unambiguous
words: Eternal. Everlasting.
Read on, rest in His blessed assurance with peace
and confidence.

please read today’s Scripture in context in your personal Bible and prayerfully
consider. If need be, for the empowering assurance that God provides for His John
1:12 family. If you are already at peace, then please do share with others that
are unsure.
