Assurance

"Every believer is saved but not every believer has the assurance of salvation. These doubts may arrest his spiritual growth, rob him of joy, and cripple his usefulness, but they do not alter the fact he is saved.". Curtis Vaughn
The puritans said assurance was like a three legged stool:
1. Objective - our grounding in Christ.
2. The internal witness of the Spirit.
3. A changed life.
Why do we need assurance? Doubt.
What causes doubt? Sin.
