THE WITNESS OF THE SPIRIT

 WEEK ONE: THE ETERNAL SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER

 

DAY 5: THE INSTRUMENTAL WITNESS OF THE SPIRIT

 

MEMORY VERSE: “These things I write to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. “  I John 5:13

 

We have been considering our assurance of salvation. How can we know, for certain, that we are saved? We have previously discussed two important truths. We can know we are saved because of:

 

1.    The infallibility of the Word of God

2.    The incomparable Work of Jesus Christ

 

Today we look briefly at another helper > the Holy Spirit Himself. At conversion the Holy Spirit takes up residence in you. He teaches and comforts and guides into all truth. Ephesians 1:13 speaks of being “sealed” by the Spirit. He makes us to know that we are His and that we belong to Him. Romans 8:16 states that “the Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD.”

 

The person of the Holy Spirit gives us assurance that we belong to Jesus forever.

He convicts us of sin when we sin.

He assures us of the efficacy of the blood.

He teaches us the truths of the Word of God.

He comforts us in times of need.

 

God has given us His Word, His Son and His Spirit!
