I'm Just Sure of it

1. Assurance comes from God’s Promise not our Performance. Hebrews 9:15

Hebrews 9:15 CSB

Therefore, he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance, because a death has taken place for redemption from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

2. Assurance comes from Jesus’ death and our faith in it alone. Hebrews 9:16-17

Hebrews 9:16–17 CSB

Where a will exists, the death of the one who made it must be established. For a will is valid only when people die, since it is never in effect while the one who made it is living.

3. Assurance comes from Jesus’ innocent blood shed on our behalf. Hebrews 9:18-22

Hebrews 9:18–22 CSB

That is why even the first covenant was inaugurated with blood. For when every command had been proclaimed by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll itself and all the people, saying, This is the blood of the covenant that God has ordained for you. In the same way, he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the articles of worship with blood. According to the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
