In this miniseries on Assurance…knowing for sure that I’m saved…tonight, Dr. Dan shows how our understanding of the biblical doctrine of sin markedly impacts our confidence in our salvation. Every serious believer knows what it means to recognize…and try to deal with…our shortcomings, mistakes, and errors in judgment. So how do I know if I was sinning…or just made a mistake? If I accidentally hurt someone…is that sin…or merely part of being an imperfect human? We’ll deal with knowing how to have a clear conscience by keeping short accounts with sin…and being quick to ask forgiveness from others…when our mistakes and shortcomings cause them harm. This is an important part of growing in Christ…and strengthening our witness.

Tonight, Dr. Dan resumes the series out of the Book of Life passages of Revelation 20. In these teachings, we’ve dealt with issues such as Eternal Security, Election, Predestination, and the Unpardonable Sin. But now we turn to an issue that dogs many Christians: How do I really KNOW that I’m saved? While many people have great theology…it’s still very common for followers of Christ to struggle with wondering whether they might be like those in Matthew 7 who…in the end…said to Jesus, “Lord, Lord…” But then He responded, “I never knew you.” In this first session in a new miniseries on Assurance, we’ll deal with the best way to NOT be sure that you’re saved: By trying to perform…to be good…to work hard at following the Law. If you’ve been on the treadmill of trying to perform perfectly so that you know that you’re saved…this session will help you rest in the TRUE Gospel of God’s grace!!!

We’re in a mini-series about what happens to dead people when they die. In this session, we answer the question of whether the OT believers are still in “the depths of the earth” being comforted by Abraham and awaiting the Final Judgment…or if they’ve somehow made it into heaven. And if they’re in heaven…how did they get there? Join Dr. Dan as he deals with “The Intermediate State” of human souls: Hades, Sheol, the “Nether World” and other aspects of the fascinating…and challenging…issue of what the Scripture teaches happened/happens/will happen to the bodies and the spirits of human beings throughout the ages of human history…and into Eternity.

We’re in a mini-series about the Book of Life and the biblical theology of salvation. Dr. Dan is now dealing with questions related to what happens to those who’ve never heard the Gospel. In this session…we dive deeply into the (usually) unrecognized biblical truth that every person will be judged by the amount of light that they have. And this means that believers…whom God has given the great privilege of knowing the Gospel and having access to the Word…will be held accountable for that light. And…we’ll see how God will perfectly and impartially judge those who’ve never heard the Gospel by applying a judgment that takes into account the amount of light that they have. Dr. Dan will finish this mini-series by showing how the Word proclaims that God is preparing the hearts and minds of every human being to hear…and receive…the Gospel. The session ends with a challenge to every believer to be actively witnessing everywhere we go…and…to sacrificially support world mission efforts that help take the Message all over the planet…and to join the greatest global revival in all of human history.

We’re in a mini-series about the Book of Life and the biblical theology of salvation. And now Dr. Dan is dealing with important questions related to what happens to those who never hear the Gospel. This issue is of profound importance because it’s a major stumbling block to many non-believers…because they believe that it’s unfair that Christ is the only way to salvation. In this session, we'll look at the remarkable biblical understanding that even those who have never heard the Gospel…still have enough light to respond to God. And this means that no one who stands before Him at the Judgment will have an excuse if they haven’t responded to the light of the Law that He has written on their hearts..
