How to Have Assurance
I’ve actually had people who’ve come to me in tears, worried that their lives haven’t been good enough to be saved.
Listen to these words from the Bible:
But now God has shown us a different way to heaven—not by “being good enough” and trying to keep his laws, but by a new way… Now God says he will accept and acquit us—declare us “not guilty”—if we trust Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, by coming to Christ, no matter who we are or what we have been like (Rom 3:21–22, TLB).
Here’s the surprising thing about Christianity. Your entrance into heaven doesn’t depend on the way we’ve lived at all! Instead it depends on your acceptance of the perfect life of Jesus Christ to stand in the place of yours.
It’s not what you do; it’s what he’s done. It’s not what you know; it’s who you know.
It’s not what you do; it’s what Jesus has done.
