Open your Bibles to Matthew Chapter 7.

Let's pray.

Father, thank you for this day.

Thank you for the weakness of the flesh

that causes us to look to you for strength.

Lord, I know the gospel has been preached in this place,

and I know that souls have been dealt with properly here.

And yet, Lord, I know there is need

to ring the bell, to strike the anvil

once, twice, over and over and over.

I pray, twice, over and over and over. I pray, Lord, especially for the young people,

that they have security of faith,

but they not be deceived with a false security of faith.

Lord, I pray that you would strengthen my mind, give me words,

that you would illuminate the heart of the preacher and the ones preached to.

Help us, Lord.

Settle matters tonight.

Settle matters, Lord.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Chapter 7, just begin reading.

We're simply going to walk through some of these texts that are so important with regard to,

yes, the believing are saved, but how do you know that you find yourself believing?
