OUTLINE:

“born again to a living hope”
 1 Pe 1:3
By grace through faith, believers enjoy an abiding knowledge of their eternal life being a reality; that being a child of God means absolute salvation and guaranteed sanctification. (Ps 43:5; 146:5; Ro 15:4, 13; 2Th 2:16-17)

When Doubts Creep In
When you get them, call them out as evil and go forward with God and His living Word!! Ps 43:5, Eph 2:14a, Heb 4:12

Eph 2:14a
For He Himself is our peace

Heb 4:12 ESV
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Mt 12:31
Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.

Jn 4:24
"God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

Knowledge must be mixed with faith to have any divine power!!
Heb 4:2, 1Th 2:13

Heb 4:2 NKJV
For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

Knowledge must be mixed with faith to have any divine power!! Heb 4:2, 1Th 2:13

“born again to a living hope” 1 Pe 1:3
By grace through faith, believers enjoy an abiding knowledge of their eternal life being a reality; that being a child of God means absolute salvation and guaranteed sanctification. (Ps 43:5; 146:5; Ro 15:4, 13; 2Th 2:16-17)

Humility Remains Open To Truth
Our job is to resist closing the shades on the Light of Truth. (Eph 6:13; Jas 4:7; 1Pe 5:9)

The Truth Is Inescapable
While an arrogant person kicks against the net (further entangling themselves in their own misery), a humble person embraces inescapable truths as a part of their “living hope.”

"I'm not capable.
I need God's help.
I need my Savior.”
