Christians often struggle with assurance, feeling their faith is solely based on their obedience and performance.

The Lord's Supper is a means of grace, a sign of God's favor and goodness, and a way to partake in Christ's sacrifice and benefits. By understanding the nature and purpose of the sacraments, believers can have a solid, secure, and steady foundation for their faith and assurance. [... more]

The Lord's Prayer is a gift, a constant companion to the sacraments, and a reminder that all blessings come from God. Jesus teaches us to pray with a recognition of our Father's gift of adoption, and that our faith is a gift. The Lord's Supper is a sacrament that holds forth the guarantee of God's gracious provision of Christ's death, which has canceled all our debt. Through prayer, we are led to the Father, who directly leads us to the gift of His Son and the Lord's Supper, where we receive the blessings of the consummated kingdom. [... more]

Deciding when to leave a church is a serious matter, requiring careful consideration of the church's marks, including the faithful preaching of the gospel, the administration of sacraments, and a biblical form of church government and discipline. A church that fails to uphold these marks may be considered apostate, and it is the duty of its members to leave and seek a more authentic community of faith. [... more]

The Lord's Supper is an instruction in which we obey Christ, a commemoration in which we remember Christ, a proclamation in which we preach Christ, a participation in which we feed on Christ, and an anticipation in which we wait for Christ. It is a commanded ordinance, not a saving ordinance, and its significance lies in its ability to remind us of God's redemption, provide fellowship and strength, and give us assurance and joy.

The gospel, a central theme in the 16th century Reformation, is not personal testimonies or methods of evangelism, but rather the objective content of Scripture, focusing on Jesus' life, sinlessness, atonement, resurrection, and promise of return. The subjective aspect of the gospel, how Christ's work is appropriated to us, was a point of contention between the Roman Catholic Church and the Reformers, with the latter affirming that faith is the sole instrument of justification.
