Sin in the life of the believer breaks fellowship, but it doesn’t mean the loss of sonship. Confidence in God: Assurance Settled persuasion of mind and will. God starts, God continues, and God completes the work I know that God will not let me go I. God began a work in them Who did the work? GOD God had done a work in them by four things God chose them, Ephesians 1:4 God called them He saves us by His grace. God was keeping them. God began a work in them. It was a good work It was the work of salvation, It’s the work of sanctification It’s the work of service. God’s Work is a Good work For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Philippians 2:12-13 II. God will finish the work in them He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:24 1. What God calls: God does. 2. Salvation has three tenses: I’ve been saved, justification I’m being saved, sanctification I will be saved, glorification. Romans 8:28-30 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,[h] for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. PSALM 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely[d] goodness and mercy[e] shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell[f] in the house of the Lord forever.
