Title: “Three Facts That Assure Our Salvation”

INTRODUCTION:

I. OUR SALVATION IS ASSURED BECAUSE OF WHO PROMISED IT TO US (VS. 13-16)

A. There is assurance because there is none greater than the one who made the promise (vs. 13-14).

1. He is the creator and sustainer of life (Col. 1:16-17).

2. He is the one who wields all power (Matt. 28:18-20)

3. He is the giver of every good gift (Jas. 1:17).

B. There is assurance because there are examples of God’s faithfulness (vs. 15-16).

1. God made a promise to Abraham and fulfilled it (text).
