Examples of Faith and Assurance. #3

Let us this morning look at the third example of having just faith versus having full blown assurance as shared by JC Ryle from his book “Holiness”.

“Faith is Peter’s drowning cry, as he began to sink: “Lord, save me!”” Matthew 14:30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

“Assurance is that same Peter declaring before the council in after times, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no one else, for there is no other name under Heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”” Acts 4:12

This shows how our growth in Christ should be! When we first come to Christ we tend to not always keep our eyes on Jesus and we sink from time to time. As we growth in our studies of the scriptures and our faith deepens we become assured of what we believe and thus become bold and stand upon the Rock and can not be moved! Knowing the truth of Jesus!

Once again I ask this day you have the assurance of your faith???
