Can I Be Sure of My Salvation?

In this session, Kirk Kingsley teaches that believers can have assurance of salvation because salvation is God’s work from start to finish, not something we earn or keep by our own effort. He says the real fear behind this question is often, “Will God eventually give up on me?” Using Jacob’s life, Kirk shows that God chose, pursued, and stayed faithful to Jacob long before Jacob’s faith looked steady or mature. Christians still sin, wander, and struggle, but that does not mean God has let go; sanctification is a lifelong process, and our hope rests in the cross, not our performance. Kirk also uses Peter’s denial to show that failure does not cancel salvation. Jesus knew Peter would fall, prayed for him, and restored him—just as Christ now intercedes for believers. Drawing heavily from Romans 8, Philippians 1, John 10, 1 John 5, and Revelation 3, he argues that God does not lose His people, nothing can separate believers from Christ’s love, and assurance rests in God’s grip on us rather than our grip on Him. The lesson closes by returning to Jacob wrestling with God: perseverance is not perfection, but clinging to God because God has already refused to let go. Sometimes faith leaves us “walking with a limp” through suffering, doubt, and loss, but that limp is not proof of rejection—it is often proof that God has met us there.
