Title: Dealing with Doubt (2 of 5)
Series: Dealing with...
Text: John 5:13
Author: Dr David Davis
I John 5:13 - "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
John wrote the Gospel of John that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ and believing that you might have life through Him.
To Evangelize the Sinner.
When he wrote this epistle - I John - he wrote it to Edify the Saint. He wants you to have the assurance of your salvation. "These things I write unto you... " - What? "That you might know that you have everlasting life."
Right off that tells me TWO THINGS:
1. You can be saved and know it.
2. You can be saved and doubt it.
Now why does it tell me you can be saved and doubt it?
Because if you couldn't doubt it - why would John write that we might know it?
He is writing to Christians who might have doubts concerning their salvation so that they can get rid of those doubts.
You see - doubt is to your spirit what pain is to your body. If you are feeling a pain right now - does that mean you are dead? No, it means you are alive! You couldn't feel pain unless you had life. Pain is a signal that there is something wrong in your body.
Doubt is a signal that there is something wrong in your spirit. Doubt is to the spirit what pain is to the body. Now, I'm not saying doubt is good any more than pain is good - but it is a signal to be dealt with.
Obviously, when you experience pain - you want to deal with it and most of all - get rid of it!
So we want to see how to deal with doubt and get rid of it so that you can walk in the power of the Spirit of God.
It is possible to be saved and doubt.
How many of you, after you were saved, ever at least one time, had a doubt about your salvation?
A woman told D.L. Moody - "I've been saved 35 years and never had one single doubt!" ...
