Assured
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine; Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
The words above are part of a song my grandmother used to sing all the time. I would watch her get so expressive and overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit. Tears would be streaming down her face as she sang. Back then I often wondered what moved her so much about those words. I didn’t understand that her experience with God had taught her how truly blessed she was. She truly knew God and understood what He had done for her.
Fast forward many years later, God brought that song to me again. I had not heard it in years, but all of a sudden, a part of the verse began lingering in my spirit. When I recognized it, I had to look it up because the only words I remembered were “blessed assurance, Jesus is mine”. As I played the song, God let those words sink into my spirit and I found myself behaving just like I saw my grandmother had done many, many years ago. This verse reminds us of the guarantee we are given once we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior. We have salvation because we have been reborn of God’s spirit, and we are washed and covered by His blood. We have no sin when we stand before God. It confirms that our relationship with Jesus now is just the tip of the iceberg of what is to come!
If you want this blessed assurance that you will have eternal life and Jesus is yours, I invite you to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believe in him shall not perish but have every last in life”. And Romans 10:9 says, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved”. That’s it! That is all God says we have to do to receive eternal life. If this is you, join me in this prayer:
Jesus, thank you so much, I believe that you died on the cross for my sins. I believe you are Lord and that God the Father raised you from the dead. I ask that you come into my life today, in Jesus’s name, Amen. That’s it family, you are not a part of the family of God. Welcome!
Listen, it is important that you get to a church that teaches the Word of God. I will recommend my church because I know the pastor teaches the truth! You can watch church online until God directs you to a local church in your area: www.cop.church
Congratulations!
