The Heavenly City stands secure, enjoys peace, and endures, not because of anything we have done, but because of the covenant faithfulness of God alone. Therefore, fellow citizens of the Heavenly Jerusalem, rejoice in the God of our salvation!

The doctrine of the Assurance of Salvation is founded on the objective work of Christ in the Gospel, as applied to the individual believer by the Holy Spirit. Assurance is increased and maintained when we diligently apply ourselves to the means ordained by God for the increase of our faith. And the fruit of assurance is peace, joy, thankfulness, and obedience.

Christ is the Sovereign Savior, Defender, and Deliverer of His people. At His return, He will gather His church to a glorious feast, providing abundantly for their everlasting joy through direct communion with Himself.

It will be a Day unlike any other, when Christ is revealed as the King of Glory and LORD of Hosts, who will reign forever with righteousness and justice, to the everlasting joy of His people.

The 14th Century was a time of great conflict for Christendom that ended with the death of John Wycliffe and the spread of his ideas from England to Bohemia. There, Jan Hus took up the banner of reform and called the church to repent. After his martyrdom, his followers fought against the crusades of the Roman Catholic Church to defend their national sovereignty and their religious liberty, bringing Europe one step closer to the Protestant Reformation.
