It is a very clear teaching of the Word of God that Christians may know beyond tho shallow of a doubt that they are saved for time and .fill- eternity-- t’>at tiny have, right . I now lnotice the tense in the verse quoted above), eternal life. Indeed,' t the First Epistle of John was writ . ten to touch this very truth, and . to pass on to Christians tho follow ship with God and with one another • that is based upon assurance, and tin- joy that is based on fellowship (I John 5:14: 1:8-41. ; Is it possible for a C h l ist tan to : know beyond tho shadow of a doubt ti that ho is saved? If it is not. how dare any man stand Iteh-ind tin-; pulpit to explain the Word of God . —spiritual things are spiritually I ■ discerned. '4 it is not possible to .-know we are saved, how dare am of us partake of the Lord’s Sup- • per—for an unsaved person to take' the Ford’s Supper i.- to drink dam , nation to himself (I Corinthians 11:291 since it is impossible for hint • to discern the Lord’s body. If it i is not possible for u< to know wv .. an- saved, how dare any of u> sub i -nit himself for baptism—baptism -for born-again, saved Christians. If : t is not possible for us to know v.o are saved, bow dare any of us - venture an opinion on what the : Bible ic lehi'S. since only yielded .

() Lord;” “Amazing (bar. - that saved a wretch like me—l once ' i was lost hut now am found:" “Web-, Marching to Zion." All tin se hymns can only lie sung fay persons who know beyond tin- shad ow of a doubt that they are saved. If we cannot kpov assuredly that , wo are saved, we nioejt the unsaved wlnai we invite them to accept, Christ in such hymns as: “Ju-t As i I Ant-—Tln>u promise F believe . " iTo smg that invitation to an ui 1 saved person, yet trot know for n-i 1 tain th.-i Christ will receive him is to make a mockery of it- winds, ! and to deny the very "promise th verse -ays we believe. "Come ev-, iry soul by sin oppressed—and He 'will SURELY give you rest —only! I trust Him, lie will save you . . .
