Knowing You Belong to Christ
Opening Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Thank You that Your promises are sure and Your Word is trustworthy. As we study today, help us understand the assurance that believers can have in Christ. Strengthen our faith, remove our doubts, and help us rest confidently in the finished work of Jesus. May our confidence be rooted in Your promises and not in our own efforts.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
