Card Verse ASSURANCE 1/24

24 Jan. 2016 - Card Verse for the Day, Assurance by Dorothy Callies

"If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31, KJV. 

This is an assurance that God has acted for the believer, not against him. This is an assurance of deliverance. This is the greatest truth in all the world. God did not have to act for man, but He did. God loves every man, no matter his condition or sin and shame. Therefore, believers can rest assured that nothing, absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing shall ever separate them from the plan and purpose of God.

God's love is perfect. And God shall have His perfect love expressed by completing His perfect plan and purpose for each life. We, the believer can have perfect assurance that God will work all things out for our good, even things that fail and are painful to the heart.

God shall deliver us, the believer from the struggling and suffering of this world. We, the true believer shall be conformed to the image of Christ and be glorified with Him. The point is this: God Himself is our assurance. God Himself has acted for us; He has done everything necessary and then more: "If God be for us, who can be against us?" Let's sing.

Song: Blessed Assurance
      by Fanny Jane Crosby, Sing His Praise
Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Chorus: 
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long.
