Main Idea: The ground of confident Christian assurance is that God always completes the work of redemption that He begins in His people. 

 

[6] And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 

 

*1 Peter 1:3–5; Romans 8:31–39

 

“Your faith will not fail while God sustains it; you are not strong enough to fall away while God is resolved to hold you.”
― J.I. Packer, Knowing God

 

Today’s Key Insight! If you were to share a key insight from today’s sermon with a friend, what would you say?

 

Today’s Lunch Discussion: Do you have a confident assurance of your redemption? If not, where is your focus (yourself or Christ? Works or faith?) What has God done for us in the gospel? What does God do in those who have believed the gospel? How has God worked through you to advance the gospel? How does it affect you to know that as God will bring all His people to perfection? Do  you look forward to the “day of Jesus Christ?” When you feel weak and faithless, where should you look? How about when you feel strong?
