That’s right. We CAN know and when se say we do, they accuse us of being ‘arrogant.’ Confident is more like it. I KNOW I have been saved. I don’t have to wait until they close my casket to wonder if I’ve made it. By the Blood of Jesus, I AM SAVED. By the Grace of Jesus, I AM SAVED. And it brings me much joy to know that when my earthly body is done, I will see Him face to face.
Amen!
Ofcourse, you now have the dreaded Trent anathema on you for stating have confidence in your eternal future based on the saving work of Christ!
But I would rather be cursed by the Council of Trent for believing the truth, than cursed by the word of God for teaching a false Gospel (Gal.1)
