Salvation Assurance

I John 3:20-24

When our heart says of doing wrong,
Because God is greater than our heart;
And He has knowledge of it all along,
Before we even confess for to impart.

If our heart does not say that we fail,
Then of God we have nothing to fear;
And gives us our requests in all detail,
Because we hold all His laws so dear.

Since we have faith in Christ His Son,
And love one another as He has said;
Being assured of our salvation been won,
Because of Christ on the cross had bled.

For whoever keeps His laws is in God,
And God is also within them as well;
With you no matter where you had trod,
Remaining with you where you dwell.

And the Holy Spirit to us that He gave,
For bearing witness that God is within;
And guide you to Heaven from the grave,
If your soul has been cleansed from sin.
