I’ve gotten to share with others quite a bit recently some verses that mean so much to me. When our hearts betray us or circumstances make us doubt, particularly at weak times or at the beginning stages of our journey with Him, we can struggle to wonder…
…if He cares
…if we aren’t doing things “right”
…if we are truly His
“But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:31)
“Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God…”
(John 1:12)
“I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.” (Jesus in John 5:24)
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.” (Jesus in John 10:27-29)
“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession – to the praise of his glory.” (Ephesians 1:13, 14)
He is so beautiful.
He has done it all.
We believe. He makes us His. We stumble. He holds on. Others attack. He won’t let us be snatched. We repent. He seals us.
He is our Salvation.
These are my go-to verses on this subject. Do you have any? Have you ever struggled with doubt? In what ways have His Word and His Spirit reassured you?
