ETS ACADEMY · LESSON 2

Achieving Certainty

Teaching points

  • Questions and doubts can arise as faith grows. Bring them into the light and examine the promises of Scripture rather than treating a changing feeling as your only evidence.
  • Read the assigned pages in the original workbook. Use the Scripture references to examine the teaching before answering the reflection and knowledge check.

Read in Scripture

  • 1 John 5:11–13
  • Romans 8:1

Reflect

  • What question about assurance would you like to discuss with a trusted Christian mentor?
  • What does the passage teach, and what is one question you want to explore with a mentor?

Put it into practice

  • Choose one assurance passage and explain what it says in context.
