Blessed Assurance

Contributed by Lee Henry on Jul 14, 2006

Many Christians today sing "Blessed Assurance" but do not have it in their hearts. This sermon explores false ideas concerning the assurance of salvation and then looks at what the Bible say concerning how we can come to know that we are saved.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jan 18, 2012

Their white garments, and golden crowns seem to indicate that these 24 represent the redeemed. The question is which redeemed? Not Israel because they aren’t saved until near the end. Not the unsaved because that happens after the 7 year tribulation.
