Adrian Rogers says, “We do not live by explanations; we live by promises.” One of God’s great promises is the assurance of our salvation. In this message, Adrian Rogers studies 1 John 5 to reveal the basis for our belief, and how to be absolutely sure of our salvation in Jesus Christ.
JESUS DOESN'T MERELY GIVE US ANSWERS Shakespeare said, "Life's a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Benjamin Disraeli said, "Youth is a blunder, manhood a struggle, old age a regret." The writer of Ecclesiastes said, "All is vanity." We have all felt the futility of life at some point, yet we keep chasing things that we hope will bring us life. We constantly search for meaning and for answers to life's biggest questions. Jesus doesn't merely give us answers. Jesus Himself is the answer to our questions. In this study, we will look at Jesus' miracles in the Book of John to understand the metaphors behind the miracles. In each instance, Jesus reveals more of who He is and more of the life He died to give us—abundant life! Each study follows Pastor Rogers' guide to studying the Bible: Pray Over It. Ponder It. Put It in Writing. Practice It. Proclaim It.
