Assurance of Salvation

Last Friday, TPoon and I had the opportunity to visit some brothers and sisters from University of Toronto (St.George Campus) Chinese Christian Fellowship or UTCCF for short. It was definitely an interesting experience. We went through a bible study of Acts 4 and how Peter and John were common and ordinary men who spoke with authority and boldness that can only be found through Christ. During this meeting, the leaders posed a question for all of us;

" What do you fear? What is hold you back from sharing The Gospel?"

For me, it was judgement. I kept it broad because I was coming from different points of view. The first is being judged by others and the second was judging others out of my own sinfulness and hypocrisy.

The leaders gave us time to encourage one another anonymously through little sticky notes. I only received one sticky note compared to everyone else who had two or more. It read;

"I suggest you look up 'assurance of salvation'"

To be honest, I didn't think much of it. But when I finally looked it up. I think God really talked to me through this person.

Check it out:

https://bible.org/seriespage/assurance-salvation

This site explains  assurance versus security, reasons why people lack assurance, the foundations of assurance, and the principles of assurance.

It's a little bit of a long read so grab a mug of tea, find a cozy place, and be encouraged to look at sharing The Gospel in a different light.

Hope this helps,
