“The Assurance of Our Salvation” # 3 1 Peter 1:1-9

TRANSCRIPT

Date: June 9, 2024 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

In his latest book, “Letter to the American Church,” Eric Metaxas calls today’s Christians to wake up, stand up, shake off the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, and speak up, or else be quiet about the sinful culture in which we live today. To quote Michael Youssef, Senior Pastor of the Church of the Apostles in Atlanta, Georgia, “ If you love God’s church, and if you want people to know the truth about God, heaven, hell, and eternity, you must read the book. If you care about the kind of world your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will live in, you have no choice; you have to read the book.” The title of this sermon series is “How Should We Then Live?” The answer, of course, is to live “in Christ,” so that others see the hope that is within us and be drawn to Him.  In this sermon, we continue to look at “The Assurance of Our Salvation.”
