“. . . will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Phil 4:7 NKJV
Paul said, “I know whom I have believed
and am persuaded that He is able to keep [me forever].” John wrote, “These
things I have written unto you so that you may know that you have eternal
life.” That little word “know” is very important. God gives us a know-so
salvation. We are to know that it is so. That means that our minds are to be
set securely in His promise of salvation through Jesus Christ. Satan has an
easy mark with many people because they don’t know the promises of God
concerning their salvation.
The first verse of Scripture many people
learn is John 3:16 which ends with these clear words, “but shall have
everlasting life.” Satan will try to discredit the truth about Jesus Christ and
His life and ministry. He will try to discredit the proven facts of His death
and resurrection. He will try to destroy the confidence we have in Him for
salvation. We need to have our minds protected from these assaults. These are
facts: Jesus lived, Jesus died, Jesus rose again and He gives eternal life to
all who believe. We need to repeat these facts over and over again until we can
say them in our sleep and thus put on the helmet of salvation.
Dear
Father, Thank You for the certainty of salvation to all who believe in Your Son
Jesus Christ. Amen.
