Assurance and Security

Doctrinal Studies, Topical Studies

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 Providential Will

The Will of God

God works out His eternal purpose not only according to His own determined purpose (will), but also according to His foreknowledge of all that will happen. We look at three examples of God's providential will at work in: the preservation of the family of Israel when Joseph is sold into slavery and taken to Egypt; the saving of God's people, Israel, from the decree of the wicked Haman in the book of Esther; and the choice of Judas Iscariot, the one who would betray Jesus, to be one of the twelve apostles.

Scripture References: Acts 2:22-24, Psalms 139:1-6, Genesis 45:5-8, Esther 4:14, John 6:64-71, John 13:18, Mark 14:21
