Subject: How do we know that we are truly saved? |
Bible Note: Thank you for the encouragement, Momma. You're welcome to use any of it that you like. The only original part of it was the write up (which is good because if it was original, it would probably be wrong!), sort of kludging a lot of stuff together. :-) Although he doesn't use the terminology that I used, you can find a much more thorough treatment of this subject by Jonathan Edwards in "The Freedom of the Human Will." It gets kind of weighty, at times, though. He also does an excellent job of explaining the seeming contradiction between the freedom of the human will and the sovereignty of God. In Him, Doc |
