Our next study: Colossians? Weigh in!

I'm thinking Colossians would be a great book to do next. It deals with early heresies and we live in an age of countless heresies and challenges to orthodox faith.

What do you think?

Full Assurance of Faith

We learned that God does not want us to walk around in anxious doubt. Quite apart from the question, "Can I lose my salvation?" which I personally would answer in the negative, is the doctrine that God wants me to be assured in my faith. We explored many verses that showed this is God's desire and His design. Some are listed below:

Eph. 1:4-7; 1:13-14; 4:30
John 10:28-30
Heb. 10:21-23
I Jn. 2:1-2, 19
John 5:24

Our salvation is in God's hands and He is able to make us stand. Yet we are encouraged to persevere and continue in our faith. There is no contradiction here, but rather view of the truth from two perspectives, ours and God's.
