\nto give them sight. Their answer was, \u201cYea, Lord.\u201d Here we are given an
\nillustration of what faith really is.<\/p>\n
\nand Christ died for you, or believing all of your sins are forgiven, or
\nbelieving you are perfect in God\u2019s sight. These things belong to the
\nrealm of assurance. Faith is neither more nor less than believing that
\nHe is able to save you. Paul said in\u00a0II Timothy 1:12<\/a>, \u201cI am persuaded
\nthat He is able\u2026.\u201d Assurance that you are saved and all of your sins are
\nforgiven will come out of that, but the actual act of faith is believing
\nHe is able. If you lack assurance, perhaps you have never really
\nbelieved that \u201cHe is able.\u201d Believing He is able will lead to the
\nassurance of these things, because you are relying upon His ability, and
\nnot your own.-Todd Nibert<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
