Subject: How do we know that we are truly saved? |
Bible Note: Hi, brother Russ... The problem is that both of your assurances are subjective. As my pastor puts it, "You should never go against your conscience, but you should never trust your conscience as a guide." (Jer 17:9) Furthermore, the "warm fuzzies" are purely emotional. Emotions come and go. We can stand firm on the truth, even when we don't "feel" it. In Him, Doc |
