God wants us to be sure of our salvation. We should not live our Christian lives wondering and worrying each day whether or not we are truly saved. That is why the Bible makes the plan of salvation so clear. Believe in Jesus Christ (Jn 3:16; Acts 16:31). ...VB084

Mankind is designed with a built-in mechanism for desire. This mechanism is called the will, and is a part of the living soul.
