As we continue to reinforce the assurance of the security of our salvation in Christ, I remind you that this assurance and all the promises of this chapter are not presented in a vacuum. They are not abstract. They are not confined to an elite status of super-Christians. They are not merely doctrinal nuances for spiritual nerds. Assurance is declared to us as we battle the flesh. As we deal with a sinful Christ-hating world system. As we deal with the constant decaying of the outer man. As we deal with crushing disappointments. As we are humiliated by our own sins. 1 - While We're On The Subject (26a) 2 - We Do Not Know (26-27) 3 - We Know (28)
