Your relationship with God should not be
based on your feelings—but His promises!
Many believers live in the feeling of uncertainty, thinking that their relationship
with God changes based on their “good” or “bad” days.
How to have confidence in your relationship with God and not feel guilty?

YOUR ETERNAL
SECURITY IS VITAL
Our eternal security helps us throughout life.
HOPE
The knowledge of our salvation and a better future life helps us through every step of our lives to maintain joy despite difficult times.
PROTECT OUR MINDS
Knowledge of our salvation provides good well-being. It’s challenging to have hope for the future and good well-being if you don’t know you are genuinely saved. Our eternal security is the helmet of our salvation, protecting our minds (Ephesians 6:15) and the anchor for our souls (Hebrews 6:19).
SERVICE
Eternal security also allows us to serve God better. Doubt saps our energy and turns our thoughts from serving God to ourselves. We can only serve fully with a confident secure foundation (Colossians 1:9-14).
CHRISTIAN GROWTH
Knowledge of our security is necessary for progressing to maturity in the Christian life, as exemplified in 1 Thessalonians 1:5-7. We may not feel we deserve salvation (actually, we do not – it is God’s gift through Christ), but we must live by the facts of Scripture and its blessed truth.
