scripture
Psalm 42:5-8
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar. Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.
quote
I have talked with people that have no assurance of sins forgiven. They want to feel saved before they are willing to commit themselves to Christ. But I believe that the only ones whom God actually witnesses by His spirit, are born again. [These] are the people who, whether they say it or not, come to Jesus Christ and say something like this, “Lord Jesus, I am going to obey you, and love you, and serve you, and do what you want me to do as long as I live. Even if I go to hell at the end of the road simply because You are Worthy to be loved, and obeyed, and served, and I am not trying to make a deal with you.”
