Yes, indeed; I didn't quote it all...Yes! One of my all time favourite scriptures. But I like the start of the sentence which says, 'Fear not' or 'Do not be afraid'.

Yes, I know, I was responding to historyb, and I really wasn't being serious, after all I read his statement below his response to which I do not agree!@Truth John's First Epistle and Romans 8 are great chapters which show that assurance is something which we can truly know, rather than just have to wait and see about.
I guess we will just have to wait!
Exactly. We must always fight the good fight, run the good race and we have hope but we can never presume upon God and tell Him He must let us in that is up to Him.
That is not what we find in the Gospel at all. Indeed we see over and over again that genuine believers have the assurance of salvation right here and right now. Which means that there is A HUGE misunderstanding of the Gospel in many quarters.We will not know if we are saved until we die, until ten we follow Christ the best we can.
Amen!! Just as simple as that Grams!!Eph.2;
8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
So it is belief in GOD and JESUS.....
Knowing what GOD and JESUS did for us who believe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
