• Review
  • We are justified
  • By faith only
  • We have peace with God
  • We stand in God's grace
  • We rejoice in the hope of God's glory
  • We glory in our tribulations
  • Tribulation works patience
  • Patience works assurance and proof
  • Proof works hope
  • Our hope brings no shame because:
• God's Love Is Poured into Our Hearts
  • God's love — to us
  • Shed abroad
    • Poured out — Act 2:17, 33
    • A gushing forth
  • In permeating completely — becoming a part of
  • Our hearts — the center of our being and personality includes —
    • mind
    • emotions
    • senses
  • The Holy Spirit brings assurance of God's love
    to us in Christ our Lord — Rom 8:16
  • He is given
    • The gift of God
    • Sent by the Father
  • To us — believers
• The Assuring Work of the Holy Spirit — Rom 8:14-16 — 1Jo 4:16
  • Not our own deduction
    • Our own intellect
    • Our own intelligence
    • Our own apprehension
  • It is the work — ministry of the Holy Spirit
    • It is direct assurance given to us
    • It is immediate assurance given to us
    • It is put in our hearts
    • It is something the Holy Spirit does
    • This is the highest form of assurance possible — Eph 3:12
• The Enjoyment of this Assurance Is Related to Our Response to Tribulation — Rom 5:1-5
