How can we be certain about the future? How can we have assurance of our salvation? Those are the questions to which Paul responds in these three verses. Paul points back to what has already happened in Jesus as evidence of the certainty of what lies ahead. Because of what God has already done through the cross of Jesus in the past, we can have absolute confidence that He will complete in the future what He has already started. Grasping this reality will fill us with peace and move us to passionately worship God with our lives.
