1-9-11 The Understanding of Gods Assurance

Mike Weaver has been working on a lesson involving Assurance and what that means.

1) In Lesson 1 of this series we discovered that God has promised us assurance of Salvation

2) In Lesson 2 Gods assurance can only be truly understood by gaining Knowledge, by learning gods written word

3) In Lesson 3 We learn about receiving the Gift of the Holy Spirit and being adopted into Gods family

4) In Lesson 4 We learn about True Wisdom (not wisdom we get from the world but wisdom we gain from Gods word

5) Understanding - This is Today's Lesson

Det 4:4-6 Talking to the chosen ones (Israelites) It says hold fast to the old laws your going to be watched so set a good example for others

1Chr-22:12-13 Assurance that we will Prosper

Ps119:97-104 Obeying the Law will provide us understanding and Peace

2Tim 2:1-7 Stick to Gods rules and laws it helps you gain understanding and insight, keep your eye on the goal (Guard yourself 1st so you can help others focus on your heart)

Prov 2:1-8 Understanding

Prov 8:14 Understanding of Gods Laws

Prov 11:12 Understanding holds his tongue

13:15 Good understanding wins favor

14:29 A Patient man has great understanding

17:27 Man of understanding are even tempered

Through out these scriptures there is one word that is repeated over and over again, understanding. This again is not the understanding of the world but of Gods written word. Without knowledge you cannot hope to have true understanding and wisdom without the Holy Spirit you cannot hope to clearly see Gods scriptures. God provides us with Assurance that if we obey his laws and are obedient to his will that we will receive the Holy Spirit and gain a new life with him in heaven. As we continue to grow we will continue to gain knowledge and understanding and wisdom in the written word.
