God Says – Part 3

September 4, 2022

We believers often wonder: Can I lose my salvation? Can I mess this up? What if I keep on struggling? What if I wake up one day and stop believing or stop loving God? These questions can weigh us down or even nag at us daily.

In this message, I share the truth about how safe and secure we really are in Jesus. Ultimately, it’s about deciding whether our God is a truth-teller or a liar. That’s right – it really comes down to the character of God. Why? Because in Scripture, we see so many promises that God will never leave us, never forsake us, and that nothing separates us from His love.

So, who are you going to believe? Find the encouragement and confidence you need to believe God at His word in my new message, “God Says: You Are Safe!”

Many Christians view forgiveness from an old covenant mindset. They believe God requires ongoing rituals or words of confession for us to sustain our forgiveness and avoid judgment. But thanks to the shed blood of Jesus, believers are under a new covenant, and our forgiveness is not progressive. In this message, you’ll learn what God says about your once-for-all forgiveness and why you will never be more forgiven than you already are today!
