Intro
Intro
Why should you trust God with your suffering?
Why should you trust God with your life?
Why should you say as Christ said “into thy hands I commit my spirit”?
5 Arguments for = trust / security - in God
Pray
Father, if anyone hearing this today is struggling with trusting you, being assured in you, change their hearts now…
Message
5 Proofs of Assurance
God is for us
Christ died for us
God has justified us
Christ intercedes for us
God loves us
NOTES
1. God is for us!
Conclusion to arguments = “What shall we say” - 3.5 / 6.1 / 7.7 ....
this argument is based upon facts!!!
Who is the us?
/ uniqueness of interaction with christians! []
“IF”… then…
Who can be against you?
world / flesh / devil / family / friends / media… God
For Us...
foreknown, predestined, called, justified, glorified…
5 proofs of assurance
= God is for us!
Sometimes, like Jacob, we lament, “All these things are against me” (Gen.
42:36), when actually everything is working for us.
The conclusion is obvious: “If God be for us, who can be against us?”
The believer needs to enter into each new day realizing that God is for him.
There is no need to fear, for his loving Father desires only the best for His children, even if they must go through trials to receive His best.
2. Christ died for us
Argument from lesser to greater...
Jesus argument to followers = = anxioty / food / clothing
Paul’s previous thoughts = = spirit of sons / abba father
Will He graciously give us all things?…
How can we possibly be sure…
giving Christ is giving all...
Octavius Winslow was correct to write: ‘Who delivered up Jesus to die?
Not Judas, for money; not Pilate, for fear; not the Jews, for envy;—but the Father, for love!’
Beauty and the beast - service to the test… Gold silverware, porcelain plates, crystal goblets… will the room be nice?
5 proofs of assurance
= God is for us!
= Christ Died for us!
3. God has justified us
Rom 8
Image the courtroom scene = God as judge
who might accuse you of wrong in this case?
Satan is the forerunner of course = “the accuser of the brothers” = = devil - diabolos - “slanderer” / Satan - adversery
the accuser of the brothers
humans = who know us or whom we have sinned against
our own consciences
LOOK AT TEXT
God’s elect
God justified
understand the gospel to understand God… if guilty - punishment = just
Just because the friend of the judge is on trial does not grant them immunity!!!
Christ Died FOR US!!
God has Justified us
4. Christ Intercedes for us
Rom 8.34
Now imagine the courtroom again!
He who has died - He who judges - He who has elected us = He who judges!!
Satan / conscience / demons = condemn us - not Christ!
Why won’t condemnation ever come?
Why won’t accusations ever stick?
Christ Died
Christ was Raised
Christ is at God’s Right Hand
Christ is Interceding for us
In Christ we too have died
In Christ we to have been found guiltless - because of Christ’s righteousness
Therefore: We are elect, We are justified, & Christ intercedes on our behalf
5 Proofs of Assurance
God is for us
Christ died for us
Christ died for us
God has justified us
God has justified us
Christ intercedes for us
Christ intercedes for us
God loves us
God loves us
God loves us
Leon Morris -
We cannot know the love of God apart from Christ.
The cross, and only the cross, shows what real, divine love is
Do you know this Jesus beloved?
Do you know the width, breadth, height and depth of God’s love?
If Paul’s argument were a mountain this would be its summit!
Paul asks Who, as to personify the following
Tribulation - strong outside pressure
Distress - inward hardships
Persecution - harassment due to faith
Famine - self explanatory / maybe more then hunger though...
Nakedness - poverty / exposure / physical shame
Danger - palpable physical threats
Sword - the culmination of the previous = Martyrdom = he writes....
