Anyone who has spent time answering objections to the Christian faith learns that the question a person asks is not always the question he is disputing.

Jesus teaches that believers will live forever, that they will never die, and that nothing can ever take them out of his hands or out of God the Father's hands.

Christ is not only good when He gives. He remains good when He withholds, redirects, or says no.

Assurance of salvation teaches us to know we are saved, informs us of what God has overcome, and it puts battles with the flesh in the proper perspective.

If truth has been faithfully communicated, why doesn't everyone who hears it respond in the same way?

Christian, if you have stopped, start again. God hasn’t counted you out. Continue in all the things which you have learned and have been assured of.

Overwhelming guilt, believing that we’re beyond help, and feelings of unworthiness can keep us from receiving God’s loving grace and forgiveness.

To grow your faith this year, remember that God is on your side, that challenges are overcome by his power alone, and be sure to be aware of his working in your life.

When you can’t explain the things that happen to you, you can hand over your concerns to the One who can more than handle them, and who is in control.

You might feel far away from God due to your spiritual forgetfulness of him, however you’re always in Christ and his love is ready and waiting for you to acknowledge him once more.

Forgiving yourself is not something Christians have to do. Our sin and guilt must be laid at the foot of the Cross alone.
