It grieves me every time I hear any believer in Christ doubting the security of their salvation. The thought a church would teach this fallacy breaks my heart, for it is a false teaching.

On January 25 of this year, I heard something more unusual in my spirit than I’ve heard before. It was a short sentence of foreign words. It sounded like this: El oh cellia nomay.

I love the words of Jesus. They are precious, comforting, and revealing beyond imagining. Have you noticed how He so often reveals an iceberg of truth within just a few words?
