There is inestimable value in possessing salvation and added
value in being confident of that salvation. God desires all of
His creation to be saved and have none of children to be of a
doubtful mind.

Jehovah wants us to feel “no condemnation” (Romans
8:1)and “abound in hope” (Romans 15:13). He invites
us to draw near with a true heart in full assurance of
faith” (Hebrews 10:22-23). He want us to look for
earnest desire, not dread or anxiety about going to
live with Him (2 Peter 3:12).

How can we be confident?
John wrote “These things have I written unto you
that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye
may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may
believe on the name of the Son of God (1 John 5:13).
During worship services
this CRY ROOM is
Feelings are uncertain. Assurance resting on the unchanging Word is accurate and steadfast (Psalm
119:89; 1 Peter 1:25)
for adults with crying
and disorderly children.
Feelings can produce false concern. One may feel bad
about his condition yet be wrong. Jacob mourned
Joseph’s death when his son was alive in Egypt
(Genesis 37:34).
Please use the
QUIET ROOM
in the Nursery for breastfeeding
and diaper changing.
ONLY
Feelings can produce false confidence. One may feel
good about his condition yet be lost. Paul was lost
when he felt saved (Acts 23:1); the Pharisee in Jesus’
parable felt good about himself, but was not justified
(Luke18:11).
How can we be confident?





Learn about Jesus from the Bible (Acts 8:35-36).
Believe in Jesus as God’s Son (Acts 8:37)
Repent of (turn from) sins. (Acts 2:38; cf. Acts
17:30; Luke 13:3).
Confess Christ’s deity (Acts 8:37).
Be baptized in water (Acts 8:38).
Then the nagging fear of not being saved will flee.

Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
