Faith
works...........by Love
And
assurance does come by a Faith that works
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
So what is the Cause- Keeping His Words...
What is the outcome- The Father and Son make abode.
Next...................
Romans 8:13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall
live.
What is the cause-mortifying the deeds of the flesh.
What is the result- you shall live

But
if we walk in the light as
He is in the light,
we have fellowship with one another, and the
blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanses us from all sin
John 1:7
Cause of action-walk in the light
Outcome- the blood of Jesus cleanses
Next............
1 John 3
18Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth. 19And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence: 20Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.
What in cause of action- love in action and truth
What is the out come- assures our hearts in His pressence
Bloodbought We don’t “ clean the house “ and then invite Him in.....we invite Him in and HE cleans the house...
You think the way you can have assurance is the doctrine of OSAS.....and I just pointed out How you have assurance with the scriptures above.
In Sanctification-which you are showing you do not see-
One lives in right relations to JESUS our Lord, King and Master. This brings about the right ways of thinking, right way how we feel,
right habits..etc...that we Do what is right.
Its the cleaning on the inside that the deed match up on the outside by what we do.
So we are interactive...many times when God saved(protected) Israel it was because they obeyed...look at the Story of Asa and How they afterwards lived in peace.....And it was in their current Life on earth...........
As eternal life is about "Zoe" Vibrant life
If you put away the deeds of the flesh by the spirit and you shall "live"
Why is that? because through the Spirit you walk in His statutes...That is what is pleasing to God and How we have a relationship, Now on earth........[eternal life]
That is why the brother earlier mentioned the scripture in Duet and underline Heart.....
A heart of clay is able to be molded...
