God please restore me.

Help me Lord find peace in your promises.

"My security as a Christian does not reside in the strength of my faith but in the indestructibility of my Savior.“ -- Sinclair B. Ferguson “Folks, if we could lose our salvation, we would.” ― Voddie Baucham

I literally just listened to a sermon from him for the first time last night at the Masters Seminary and now here he is!

The more you know of God and His holy Scriptures, the greater your assurance will be.

This man is a very good author. Very happy to see him here

Thank you for this wonderful biblical preaching! I needed this sermon so much.

Thank you for being faithful to His Word

I lost my daughter in the last few months & I desperately need prayer & reassurance of my salvation in the mist of unfathomable grief

Thanks for sharing this wonderful sermon. 😊

Thank you for this teaching. Thank you for teaching profound truths so simply.

“He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.” John 5:12-13

“27Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.” 28Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!” 29Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20

Only Christ provides the asbestos righteousness to me so I may stand before the blazing holiness of the Triune God. - John Piper It’s NEVER you!

How can you truly know that you're one of His sheep? What worries me is, "I never knew you." Yes God does it all, but how do you know He did it for you?

But how can I know if Christ died for me? I don't have that information. How can I know if I'm elect? That's my biggest hangup. If I knew I was elect It would be easy to believe.

My lack of assurance right now is because I'm struggling with the unpardonable sin. I've confessed Him openly and have shared the gospel and i exhibit fruit of repentance but years ago I said some disrespectful words about the HolyGhost. I cussed at Him and said He was a liar. I said He was evil (though that time it was honestly out of confusion because I misunderstood a passage of Scripture). The only thing I didnt do (at least I dont think I did) was attribute Christs miracles to Satan. I was on heavy meds at the time. Methadone. My memory is clouded because of a life of drug abuse. Also, getting confused about Gods decree of my sin lead to a negative disposition because thinking God wants me to sin against Him and I have no choice. Misunderstanding Calvinism and Gods character led to being traumatized. I have since gotten off the Methadone and have repented but it still haunts me.
