If you ask most people if they are going to heaven when they die, they will usually respond “I hope so,” or “I think so,” or simply, “I don’t know.” This is even true of many people who attend church regularly and look at themselves as Christians. Can we know that we are saved? Is there really any Assurance of our salvation? Can we know that we will never lose our salvation? Is there really any security in our salvation? In this brief series of lessons, we look at the Scriptural basis for believing in the “Assurance and Security” of the believer. Assurance that we can KNOW we are saved, and Security that we will NEVER lose our salvation.

These Bible messages were taught by Pastor Gregg Bing during the adult Sunday school class in 2018 at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

God's Determined Will

The Will of God

Though God, in His sovereignty, does at times allow men and even angels to make their own decisions (permissive will of God), there are things that God does determine will happen exactly as He purposes. This includes things such as the creation of the universe and the call of Abraham to father the nation of Israel, however, the most outstanding example is the finished work of Jesus Christ: His sacrificial death on the cross and His resurrection.

Scripture References: Revelation 4:11, Colossians 1:16, Acts 2:22-24, Acts 4:24-28

From Series: "The Will of God"

A brief series of lessons looking at the sovereignty of God, but focusing on the fact that there are different aspects to the will of God: His permissive will, His determined will, His providential will, and His desired will.
