Ready to add another verse from a new group? Get ready to do just that! But first....you know what you've got to do! We won't review The Four Corners of the Bible, so if you don't have those four down, go back and get them secured! We'll start out with Romans Road to Salvation and go through The Gift of Prayer before we introduce our new verse that will be the first of ten (yes, I said ten!) verses on The Gift of God's Assurance.
Romans Road to Salvation
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 5:8 But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 12:1 Therefore, dear brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship.
The Gift of Scripture
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting and for training in righteousness.
Joshua 1:8 This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to recite it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.
Psalm 119:11 I have treasured your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You.
Deuteronomy 6:4-6 Listen O Israel: The Lord your God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength. These words I am giving to you today are to be in your heart.
Deuteronomy 6:7 Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Hebrews 4:12 For the Word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as to divide soul, spirit, joints and marrow. It is a judge of the ideas and thoughts of the heart.
The Gift of Prayer
Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time.
1 John 5:14 Now this is the confidence we have before Him: whenever we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
1 John 5:15 And if we know that He hears whatever we ask, we know that we have what we have asked Him for.
And now....
The Gift of God's Assurance
1 John 5:11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
Do you realize that John uses the phrase "eternal life" 23 times in his writing of the Gospel of John and his three letters? I think he wants us to be assured about our future, don't you?!
Here's our closing quote for tonight from Samuel Rutherford --- yes, that's his picture and not mine with a fancy new hat and hairdo! Samuel Rutherford was a Scottish Presbyterian minister who lived in the early 15th century. Here is his quote regarding God's assurance to us:
That's blessed assurance!

Here's our closing quote for tonight from Samuel Rutherford --- yes, that's his picture and not mine with a fancy new hat and hairdo! Samuel Rutherford was a Scottish Presbyterian minister who lived in the early 15th century. Here is his quote regarding God's assurance to us:Our hope is not hung upon such an untwisted thread as, 'I imagine so,' or 'it is likely,' but the cable, the strong tow of our fastened anchor, is the oath and promise of Him who is eternal verity. Our salvation is fastened with God's own hand, and with Christ's own strength, to the strong stake of God's unchangeable nature.When I was young, some churches had a habit of closing the sermon with the question, "Do you know where you'd go if you died tonight?" If you have asked Jesus to be your Savior and your Lord, you know exactly where you'll be when you wake up from death's short nap...you'll be in eternity with God Almighty!
That's blessed assurance!

We have come a really long way. Such great verses that I was not familiar with and don't remember hearing a sermon based on them. They are a great foundation for our faith. I do believe that I will have eternal life with our God Almighty. I look forward to this next set of verses.
