What does it mean to have true assurance of salvation? In this encouraging message from Hebrews 6:9–12, Pastor Ben Honeyford shows us that Christ alone is the ground of our assurance, while spiritual fruit is the gracious evidence of His work within us.

Discover how looking to Christ, serving His church, pursuing Him diligently, and trusting His promises strengthens our confidence in His saving grace.
