Assurance is a doctrine which states that the inner witness of the Holy Spirit in conjunction with the objective promises of God in the New Testament allows the believer to know (be assured) that he/she is elect. As the apostle John stated, "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life,"(1 John 5:13). * Can I Know that I Am Saved?, or the Doctrine of Assurance (MP3), by S.
