Resolve is the Harvest of Revelation

Week 5: The Word of God

Resolve is the harvest of revelation.
Romans 4: 16-25

My granddaddy never had an abiding sense of assurance. He had been taught it was presumptuous to say you were saved. His hope was high even though his faith was not strong. Do I believe he was a Christian? Yes, I do. But he was a Christian that needlessly was anxious about things that should have inspired peace.

Daddy did not have this problem. He had a deep and abiding assurance that what Jesus accomplished on the cross and secured through his resurrection had been applied and received by him. How did this happen? He was taught that it was faith, not presumption that allowed him to testify to God’s grace. He didn’t have to wait until heaven and hope to know the goodness of God. His resolute faith came by revelation.

I pray you share that revelation of God from his Word. Write down the things you are sure God’s grace provides for you. If your list is small, ask God for greater revelation. Apply yourself to the Bible.
