The Christian’s Confidence

The Christian’s confidence does not lie in our love for God, but in God’s love for us.

If you are truly God’s child—made new in Christ and walking in His ways by grace—you cannot out-sin the salvation secured for you in Him. To be sure, ongoing sin is incompatible with truly belonging to Christ—not because we can lose salvation, but because true faith produces the fruit of the Spirit.


Philippians 1:6:
”And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."

He will bring it to completion, he will carry it on to completion, he will continue it until completion. God will finish what he starts.


John 15:16:
“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.”

God chooses his children for good works and his glory.


John 10:28:
“I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.”

Christ keeps us secure from Satan, sin, and suffering.


The Savior’s arms are safe and strong.
