There is a Promise

---

God has committed Himself to bestow saving grace upon all those who believe in His Son.  He will forgive them, give them eternal life, adopt them as His very own children, and keep them forever in His love.  (Isaiah 1:18, John 3:16, John 10:27-29)

The life that God gives to those who put their trust in Christ alone, is not withheld from us until we die.  This life begins at the moment we come to Jesus for deliverance from sin, and continues forever and ever.  There are specific and supernatural evidences that authenticate the life that God imparts to believing sinners, through His Holy Spirit. 

These are not a means of gaining or keeping a right standing before God.  They are a means of confirming the reality of the fact that God is indeed faithful to save forever all who come, by faith, to Jesus Christ alone for salvation.  There is a process of growth in God's grace, by which He progressively sanctifies those who have been made alive in Christ.  Through these evidences, and through the process of sanctification, God provides a solid assurance that we are His legitimate children.

One of the most prominent indications of our new life in Christ is a radically altered relationship to sin.  It is not that we never sin again, it is the reality that we become very sensitive to our sin.  We will never be able to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin the way we used to.  We will also experience the deep love that God has for us as His children, through His faithful and consistent discipline.  When God saves us He gives to us a new nature, and we will not be able to be comfortable with sin any more.  
(II Corinthians 5:17, Romans 6:11 & 14 & 17-18)

Another prominent evidence confirming God's promise of salvation, is the close, genuine, and enduring love for our brothers and sisters in Christ that comes through the pouring out of God's Spirit within us.  This is a brotherly - an instinctive - love, that comes from our heavenly Father.  (I Thessalonians 4:9, I John 3:14)

There is also a very real change in our relationship to God's Word.  This is seen in a reverential respect for Divine revelation in the Scriptures.  There will be an underlying and instinctive hunger for the truth of God's Word, even through times of doubting and temptation.  While we will never achieve perfect obedience, there will be an inherent sensitivity in responding to God's Word as we come to further understanding.  (Matthew 12:23, I Thessalonians 2:13)

The best news that could ever be heard by sinful men is that there is a God who saves sinners!  His promise is certain and reliable for the present life, and for all of eternity!  (I John 3:12, John 11:25)
