Words of Assurance
(based on Romans 8:33-34 )
Sisters and brothers,
If God did not spare His own Son, but freely gave Him up for all of us,
will He not also give us everything else?
So who will bring any charge against us?
No one—for it is God who justifies.
Who will condemn us?
No one—for Christ Jesus died for us, and was raised to life for us,
and is sitting at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
So be at peace: your sins are forgiven.
