Subject: The Comfort of an Assured Atonement |
Bible Note: "Question: What is your only comfort in life and death? "Answer: That I am not my own (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20), but belong with body and soul, both in life and in death (Romans 14:7-9), to my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:23; Titus 2:14). He has fully paid for all my sins with His precious blood (1 Peter 1:18, 19; 1 John 1:7; 2:2), and has set me free from all the power of the devil (John 8:34-36; Hebrews 2:14, 15; 1 John 3:8). He also preserves me in such a way (John 6:39, 40; 10:27-30; 2 Thessalonians 3:3; 1 Peter 1:5) that without the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head (Matthew 10:29-31; Luke 21:16-18); indeed, all things must work together for my salvation (Romans 8:28). Therefore, by His Holy Spirit He also assures me of eternal life (Romans 8:15, 16; 2 Corinthians 1:21, 22; 5:5; Ephesians 1:13, 14) and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him (Romans 8:14)." --Heidelberg Catechism (Question #1) |
