Our Doctrine of Assurance

Fri 5 Mar 1742: I talked with one who used frequently to say, ‘I pray God I may never have this new faith. I desire that I may not know my sins forgiven, till I come to die.’ But as she was some weeks since reading the Bible at home, the clear light broke in upon her soul. She knew all her sins were blotted out and cried aloud, ‘My Lord and my God.’
In the evening I expounded, ‘This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.’ We afterwards admitted several new members into the society, and were greatly comforted together.
