What is creating doubt in your heart? Why is your heart not at peace?
The answer to these questions are usually the same. There is something missing or maybe something not adding up in your life.
In this dispensation, the presence of the holy spirit is highly significant. If we cannot worship in the spirit, there is always going to be a doubt cast on our salvation.
It is the spirit that bears witness to the word. John 15:26~But when the helper(holy spirit) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.
Holy spirit is the spirit that clears all doubts. Without the holy spirit, everything looks dry and inconsequential. Acknowledging him through which the holy spirit is made available to us is the key to eternity assurance.
The rich man asked, “what must I do to inherit this eternal life?”. He had kept all the laws of Moses and in his eyes he was perfect; but he was still doubting his salvation.
Jesus said, “sell everything you have and give them to the poor then come and follow me”.
This seems difficult but the baseline is putting Jesus at the center of our lives. He should be the reason for everything we do. Jesus should be the reason for our life’s pursuits and plans.
In the morning before we go, call upon the name of Jesus. In the evening when we are back, call upon the name of Jesus. In everything we do, call upon the name of Jesus. It is a sign that we have submitted to the authority of he who holds our salvation.
In him there is not doubt. Laying up all our treasures and values in his presence for the peace of our soul is a task that answers all doubt.
