262. The Solid Ground of Biblical Assurance


Listen Later

In this episode, host Jared Luttjeboer sits down with Dr. Cornelis Venema, President Emeritus of Mid-America Reformed Seminary, to explore the doctrine of assurance. Dr. Venema challenges the common misconception that assurance is merely a fluctuating feeling dependent on our spiritual performance. Instead, he reveals how assurance is fundamentally rooted in God's unshakable promises rather than our own efforts. Drawing from scriptural passages in Romans 8 and various Psalms, Dr. Venema explains how the Holy Spirit witnesses to believers' spirits, confirming their adoption as God's children. This conversation offers a refreshing perspective for those who struggle with doubt, reminding listeners that assurance isn't earned but freely received through faith.
