Rationalizations that lead to sin:
5. I’ll just do it one time
4. Nobody will know
3. That’s not sin, that’s not wrong, everyone is doing it.
2. This can’t possibly be wrong
1. Trust God to make things right
Lesson: Watch out for temptation
2. Trust God to Protect you
3. Trust God for your salvation
Ways we can be misled into thinking we have assurance of salvation:
1. I said the sinner’s prayer (Acts 20:21)
2. I’m convicted when I sin (2 Cor. 7:10)
3. I feel close to God
4. I pray, read the Bible, and go to church (Mat. 7:22-23)
5. God is blessing my life (Mat. 5:45)
6. I know Jesus died and rose again (James 2:19)
