The Work of Grace

To what do you look for the assurance of your salvation?  A date?  A prayer?  A baptism?  The grace of God came to bring us salvation, but do we understand that means?  Whether we realize it or not, so many of us think that just means we're promised a seat in Heaven for eternity.  We who believe in Christ are indeed assured a place in Heaven for all eternity, but that is far from the whole picture.  God's purpose was so much greater than that, and it makes for an important test to see if we're "in the faith."  From Titus 2:11-15.
