LOVE WORTH FINDING 10TH AUGUST 2025 SUNDAY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE BY ADRIAN ROGERS
TOPIC: What to Do When Doubt Creeps In
“These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.” – 1 John 5:13
Ponder This
One day the devil began to whisper to a little boy and said, “You’re not saved. You don’t feel right. You don’t deserve it. You’re not good enough.” And all the way home, the devil was just dogging the footsteps of that little boy.
The boy sat on the couch, trying to get it all sorted out because he wanted the absolute assurance that he was saved. He remembered John 5:24, “Verily, verily I say unto you” (KJV). Verily, verily? That means truly, truly. “I say unto you,” Jesus says, “He that heareth my word,” and the boy said, “I heard it.” “And believeth on him that sent me,” and the boy said, “I believed.” “Hath everlasting life,” and the boy said, “I have everlasting life. I’ve done it. The Word says so.”
By then, it seemed like Satan was so close he was under the couch. The boy took the Bible and stuck it under the couch, and said “Devil, read it for yourself.” When the devil gets on your trail, don’t argue with him; he’s not worth it. Point him to the Word of God and step out of the way.
- When have you felt discouraged in your faith? What Scriptures encourage you in these times?
- Who do you know who has struggled with assurance of faith? How can you provide encouragement?
Practice This
Encourage someone who is struggling in his or her faith and pray for your friend to grow in assurance of salvation.
