I'll Be Honest

A believer's assurance of salvation is a particular place that Satan will often seek to attack. Our enemy wants to make us miserable, depressed, and defeated by believing lies that unsettle our confidence in Christ.

When asked, every Christian will claim that they trust God, but your choices and reactions will be the truest indications of where your trust truly is. Is your trust in God a theory or a reality?
