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.

Total Depravity - 4

A Scriptural Look at Calvinism

We continue our studies of the first tenet of Calvinism, Total depravity. We look at how the Jews of Jesus' day had ample opportunity to hear and know the truth, and to believe that they might be saved. We look at Jesus' teachings found in John 5, 12, and 15, as well as Paul's description of how the word of faith was clearly preached to Israel, but they stubbornly rejected it (Romans 10).

Scripture References: Romans 10:1-21, John 5:31-47, John 12:35-50, John 15:22-24
