Assurance Of Salvation | 1 Peter 1: 3-6 | August 30, 2026

The sermon “Assurance of Salvation” teaches that believers can have confidence in their salvation because it is a gift of God accomplished through Jesus Christ, rather than something earned through human works. Drawing from 1 Peter, Romans, Ephesians, Mark, and 2 Corinthians, the message explains that all people have sinned and are spiritually unable to save themselves, but God, because of His great love and mercy, provided redemption through Christ’s sacrificial death and resurrection. Salvation is received by grace through faith, not by following the law, doing good works, becoming better, or first eliminating sin. The sermon emphasizes that Jesus paid the complete price for sin, making those who believe in Him a new creation with a new destiny and an eternal inheritance that cannot perish, spoil, or fade. Putting away sin is therefore presented as part of growing in salvation, rather than a requirement for obtaining it. Ultimately, believers are encouraged to trust God’s promise, stop being consumed with fear about losing salvation, draw as close to Jesus as possible, follow Him, and continue growing spiritually. The central message is that God loves us, salvation cannot be earned, it is received through faith, and those who belong to Christ can rest in the assurance of God’s saving grace and power.
