What would you say to someone who still doubts his salvation after seeing its fruit in his life?
Summary
The sermon emphasizes finding assurance and salvation not in ourselves, but by focusing on Christ and His promises. It references the spiritual masters' counsel to look to Christ ten times for every one look inward, and specifically mentions James 4:8, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." The practical takeaway is to actively hold onto God's specific promises applicable to our situations, especially during times of struggle, to learn to trust Him even when feelings or circumstances are difficult.
