Counsel #6 — Assurance Of Identity In Christ

Picture: Counsel #6 — Assurance Of Identity In Christ CSL 16.1

God wants you to come directly to His Word to find out how He feels about you and learn more about your identity in Him. He has declared that every person is important and vital, regardless of their status or role in the church and society (1 Corinthians 12:22-25). There are no identities of “less than” in the family of God. If you have accepted Christ as Lord of your life, you are safe in Him and your eternal life is secure.^[14] CSL 16.2

“He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.”
1 John 5:11-13 NKJV CSL 16.3

“The greatest disquietude we can have is uncertainty. The acceptance of the blessings of God brings righteousness and peace. The fruit of righteousness is quietness and assurance forever.” Ellen White in The Upward Look, p. 99 CSL 16.4
