Alive...Off Duty

Yes...He give us that assurance....He is a personal God and desires that we trust Him. That happens as we know Him in real time. This is alien to some who are Born again. In part, I must conclude, it involves expectations. And that is connected to teaching. Ultimately to Gods will, as He is perfectly capable of getting through to us. Ask.....

Yes, I am assured and sure. Gods word is clear, He intervened in my life and has proven Himself to me in very specific personal ways. over and over again. I am assured of an actual historic Jesus Christ and what He accomplished for me. The entire universe and the reality of what I am as a being only makes sense when there is a personal God that Loves me.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.” (John 1:1–8 NAS95) https://accordance.bible/link/read/NAS95S#John_1:1
