TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE:

1 John 4:13

By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. (ESV)

SUMMARY

We wrestle with why we keep sinning and why that struggle can make us question whether we are truly saved. We ground our assurance in 1 John 4:13 and look for the Holy Spirit’s real-world evidence through changed desires, conviction, and repentance.

• the reality that believers are redeemed in spirit but still live in frail bodies
• how Romans 6–8 explains ongoing conflict with sin
• why repeated failure often triggers doubts about salvation
• 1 John 4:13 as a clear test for assurance through the gift of the Spirit
• practical self-examination through changed behavior and reoriented desires
• conviction and regret as signs the Holy Spirit is present and active
• a closing prayer for renewed assurance and rest
