A prayer for assurance, built from Scripture
A guided prayer in seven movements, each resting on a verse, for the believer who wants to know they are held. Pray it slowly, in your own words.
Assurance and feelings are not the same thing
Feelings rise and fall with sleep, health, and circumstances. Assurance rests on what God has promised. Here is how to tell them apart when they disagree.
Assurance of Salvation: How to Know You Are Saved
Can you know for sure you are saved? Learn what the Bible says about assurance of salvation, its foundation, and how to grow in confidence.
Can I be a Christian and still have questions?
Faith is trust in a person, not certainty about every question. The Bible is full of believers who asked, and Jesus did not push them away.

Is Christianity True? Honest Questions and Evidence
Christianity claims to be true, not just helpful. Here is how to weigh the evidence honestly and what true faith actually rests on.
Is It a Sin to Question God?
Doubts and hard questions are not the same as unbelief. Learn what Scripture says about questioning God and how to bring your questions to Him.
What is faith?
Faith is trust: taking God at His word and resting on Jesus Christ rather than on your own goodness. It is not a work, and it is not the absence of doubt.
Why doubt is not the same as unbelief
Doubt is faith asking questions while still holding on. Unbelief is letting go. The Bible is full of doubting believers, and Jesus treats them with patience.
