THE EVIDENCE OF SALVATION

TEXT- 1 THESSALONIANS 1:6-10

INTRODUCTION

A BUSINESSMAN WAS INVOLVED IN A LAWSUIT.  HE GATHERED ALL THE INFORMATION AND THEN PRESENTED IT TO HIS ATTORNEY.  AFTER THE LAWYER EXAMINED THE EVIDENCE HE WAS VERY ENTHUSIASTIC AND TOLD HIS CLIENT, “WE CAN’T POSSIBLY LOSE THIS ONE!”  “WELL, I GUESS I’M NOT GOING TO SUE THEN,” SAID THE BUSINESSMAN.  “BUT WHY?” THE ATTORNEY QUESTIONED. “THIS IS AN OPEN AND CLOSED CASE.”  TO WHICH HIS CLIENT REPLIED, “THAT WAS MY OPPONENT’S CASE YOU WERE LOOKING AT.”

THIS MORNING MY TEXT IS FOUND IN 1 THESSALONIANS 1:6-10 AND THE TITLE OF MY MESSAGE IS, “THE EVIDENCE OF SALVATION.”

AS WE STUDY THIS PASSAGE, PAUL GIVES US FIVE UNDENIABLE EVIDENCES THAT CAN PROVE BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT WE ARE SAVED.
