  • Assurance and God’s Un-Crossed

    Assurance and God’s Un-Crossed

    God is making all things new. One day tornadoes, death, your tears, and disbelief will be no more. It is hard, and in fact impossible, to fully plumb the depths of the act of God to “make all things new.” There are days where particular aspects of this truth pierce my soul like a grace laced dagger. Today, it is the reality that one day I’ll rest fully assured in the fact that God wasn’t crossing His fingers when he declared my righteousness that was based on the person and work of Jesus Christ. One day, my belief in that reality won’t be as fickle as it is today. While I sit in a dimly-lit, overly crowded coffee shop doubting that everything is going to be okay, one day I’ll sit at his feet and never doubt again.

    God is making all things new, Christian; even your ability to believe in His work of making all things new. The grace of God will transform the way you ask for assurance, your inability to remain awe-struck, and your cynicism toward captivated worship of God for all eternity.

    All Saints Christian Holy Faith

    All Saints Day, also known as All Hallows’ Day, or Hallowmas, is a Christian celebration in honor of all the saints from Christian history. In Western Christianity, it is observed on November 1st by the Roman Catholic Church, the Methodist Church, the Lutheran Church, and other Protestant denominations. The Eastern Orthodox Church and associated Eastern Catholic churches observe All Saints Day on the first Sunday following Pentecost.

    The Christian festival of All Saints Day comes from a conviction that there is a spiritual connection between those in Heaven and on Earth. In Catholic tradition, the holiday honors all those who have passed on to the Kingdom of Heaven. It is a national holiday in numerous historically Catholic countries. In Methodist tradition, All Saints Day relates to giving God earnest gratitude for the lives and deaths of his saints, remembering those who were well-known and not. Additionally, individuals throughout Christian history are celebrated, such as Peter the Apostle and Charles Wesley, as well as people who have personally guided one to faith in Jesus, such as one’s relative or friend.
