Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

Our assurance of salvation comes from the knowledge and certainty of our personal relationship with God. It comes from the word of God and His spirit living in us that testify to this certainty, not from our own feelings, emotions, or works.

God declares that His son Jesus is the only gateway to eternal life. Anyone who has that testimony in his heart is saved. Anyone who does not believe this testimony calls God a liar.

Without the cross, we have nothing and without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. Jesus was the final sacrifice for our forgiveness. There is no other way. Jesus did not need saving, but He endured the cross to save us.

We know how the game ends, so we should not be discouraged when it seems like we are behind. We overcome the world by faith and the object of that faith is God. Satan does not want us to know that we are on the winning team.

Obedience is not just avoiding things we are forbidden to do, it is doing what God calls us to do. This applies to us as a group of believers and as individuals.

There is only one way to be a Christian: you must be born again. Those who are not born again are spiritually dead. Christians are born again to be a part of God's family. It should change us radically.

We can say we love God and fellowship with Him, but is it true? We cannot love God and hate our brother at the same time. If we have no pity for our brother in need, we do not love him and, if we do not love him, we do not love God.

God took the first step in loving us. Any teaching that says God responds to something good that we do is in error. He makes the first move. Loving those who do not love us is a challenge worth taking. Such true love will beget more love.

Life is hard but prioritizing relationships helps. First is your relationship with God followed by family and friends and the church body. If we have faith and trust in God, we are going to be okay. Life has its ups and downs, but He is always with us.
