MUD-STAINED ASSURANCE

'For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.' - 1 John 3 vs 20

Hello Dearly Beloved of GOD. Greetings in the Name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Be lifted and refreshed in your Heart as you read through the writings of this Publication. AMEN.

It's important you note that every sparkling jewel hid in the mud has not lost it's sparkle, neither has it's identity faded. But it is at the moment clustered with filth. - Selah

This is the situation of many Believers today, as they go through diversities of challenges and difficulties, diversities of pain within and depression as it relates to sin and wrong conducts; they examine themselves within, and they don't seem to get an Assurance of their Salvation. But hey Beloved, just like that precious jewel covered in mud, so you are right now. That jewel hasn't lost it's preciousness. All that is needed to be done to it is to cleanse it, and it's sparkle will be evident. Hallelujah! Now let's see our opening Bible passage;

'For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.' - 1 John 3 vs 20 {KJV}

It says, if our Heart condemn us, GOD is greater than our heart. Remember, GOD is HIS Word. GOD and HIS Word are inseparable.

'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.' - John 1 vs 1 {KJV}

So we can safely use "the WORD of GOD" in the place of "GOD" in our opening Bible passage, and it will read thus;

'For if our heart condemn us, the WORD of GOD is greater than our heart...'

You see that? The Word of Grace spoken concerning us is bigger than our hearts - The Word of Grace spoken concerning you is bigger than your heart  that hurts of condemnation right now. O Glory to GOD! This is Hope. This reveals to us that what we need when we feel condemned and don't feel our Salvation is the cleansing of the WORD.

'Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word...' - Ephesians 5 vs 25 - 26 {KING JAMES VERSION}

THAT HE MIGHT CLEANSE IT WITH THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD

We see evidently here that the Word of GOD in a man is as water that washes away dirt and filths off a surface and cleanses it.

Examining the gold coin(s), it is stained in mud, it isn't looking fanciful this way, yet it's identity and value is intact and unchanged. All that is needed for it's sparkle to be evident again is to cleanse it, by washing it with water. You see...? Now, that is what the Word of GOD in a man does to the man, it cleanses every dirt of doubts, fears, uncertainty out of the man, the Word washes the man as the washing of water, and the man is cleansed. - Selah. Glory to GOD.

As we listening to the Teaching of the Gospel, or study it for ourselves in the Bible, TRUTH begins to eject fear from us, the Revelation of CHRIST and HIS Grace begins to bring forth to the fore-front our Assurance of Salvation which we have in CHRIST, and suddenly we are helped! No pain! Depression gone! Fears expelled! Uncertainty dissolved! We come alive! Behold, we are alive full of Joy and Peace. Hallelujah! Glory to the Holy Name of GOD. AMEN.

Dearly Beloved, it's the WORD you need.

With the Word of GOD in your Heart, the pains will eventually go, and you will see your Salvation in CHRIST clearly, you will know, feel and be certain of your Assurance of your Salvation in CHRIST again and forever. AMEN. Hallelujah!

GOD Has Blessed You.
