| "For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things." 1John 3:20 The child of God can have assurance, but suppose we are not doing what we should be doing? Does that mean that we have lost our salvation or that we did not have it to begin with? John says, "For if our heart condemn us, God is greater tan our heart, and knoweth all things." We don't lose our salvation. If our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, greater than our lack of assurance. He is going to hear our prayer. Isn't He a wonderful God? When we fail Him, He won't fail us. You may not have any assurance when you go before Him. A great many Christians come to Him empty-handed: "I have done nothing for You, Lord. I have done nothing at all, and yet I am coming to You in prayer." God is greater than your heart; He will hear your prayer. He is going to deal with you. He wil hear and answer according to His will. You can depend on Him. Even if you don't have assurance, just keep going to Him. God Bless You. What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose. |
