Assurance vs Insurance

An insurance policy is a great asset to have in case you run into someone or the house catches on fire. Some people even insure their income. Folks can even be insurance-poor.

A salesman even pushed for me to get the extended warrantee on my Tacoma. Can you imagine the nerve of him?

What is better than insurance – is assurance. The hymn writer sure had it right when she was inspired to write “Blessed Assurance.” Yes, she. The lyrics were written in 1873 by blind hymn writer. Fanny Crosby. She was blind to physical things, but her eyes were wide open to spiritual realities.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine;
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
This is my story; this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
This is my story; this is my song,
  Praising my Savior all the day long.
 God gives that freely through His Word.

John 5:24 

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

What assurance!

Think about it.
