Can you really know that you’re saved?
Pastor Wayman Mitchell preaches from Ephesians 1 on the assurance of salvation and one of the most encouraging truths in Scripture: God is committed to finishing what He started in you.
New converts and longtime Christians alike can struggle with condemnation. Old habits surface. Wrong thoughts return. The devil accuses you and tells you, “You haven’t really changed. You’ll always be this way.”
But God says something different.
In this message, Pastor Mitchell explains what it means to be redeemed by the blood of Jesus, accepted in Christ, and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.
That seal is more than a religious idea. It speaks of ownership. God has put His mark on those who belong to Him.
Philippians 1:6 says:
“He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
Your confidence is not that you are strong enough to save yourself. Your confidence is in the God who saved you and is working to bring His purposes to completion.
Scriptures: Ephesians 1:3-14, Romans 6:23, Isaiah 52:3, Acts 20:28, Colossians 1:12-14, Romans 8:1, Luke 10:20, Philippians 1:6, Jude 24-25
