Assurance - It's Purpose By Erroll Hulse

"Would you have eternal life, and do you know that you have eternal life? Do you possess assurance?" In this profound and deeply pastoral message, Erroll Hulse unpacks the vital, comforting doctrine of Christian assurance. Why does God want His children to live with the absolute certainty of their salvation? Far from leaving us in doubt, God has bound Himself to us through an everlasting covenant of grace—a legal, loving commitment that cannot be broken. Drawing on the classic Puritan work Heaven on Earth by Thomas Brooks, Hulse explores 10 life-changing reasons why God gives us this certainty. From sweetening life's traumatic changes to keeping our hearts from desiring the world, assurance is meant to be a foretaste of heaven right here on earth. The Covenantal Basis: How God’s covenants from Noah, Abraham, and Moses culminate in the perfect, individual security of the New Covenant. The 10 Purposes of Assurance: A deep dive into Thomas Brooks' classic Puritan points on how assurance transforms our daily lives. Facing the Last Enemy: Why consistent evangelical faith offers a "sweet assurance" in the face of death—a certainty that empty rituals and legalistic systems can never provide. Whether you are seeking rest for a restless heart, struggling with doubt, or looking to deepen your walk with Christ, this sermon offers a rich, biblical foundation for the joy of knowing you are eternally His. “He has bound me to himself by a covenant that will never end.” Christian Library Australia is dedicated to preserving and sharing dense, foundational theological lectures, sermons, and resources to help believers grow in their faith.
