Ephesians 1:13- “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit.”
Think back to the moment in time when you accepted Jesus as your Savior.
I can still feel the exhilaration, the freedom, the joy.
It was an indescribable feeling. Nothing else has ever compared to it.
But, I kept going back.
That’s right. I needed the assurance that this was real—that God wasn’t going to change his mind…that I really was saved.
So, each week, when our pastor gave the invitation, I would walk to the front of the church and meet him at the altar. I saw the quizzical look on his face. He smiled with understanding.
Finally, he called me into his office for a conversation about salvation and explained why I could be assured of it…why I could be confident that I was, indeed, “really saved.”
Yes, salvation IS wonderful. It IS the best news ever. It IS amazing.
But, we don’t need to get saved, again, week after week. We don’t need to constantly pursue that initial feeling we had when the weight of sin was lifted from our shoulders.
We can rest in the assurance that faith in Christ brings.
