Assurance in the Christian life is two-fold. Our assurance of salvation comes from Christ’s saving work that purchased and granted to us and keeps the fulfillment of all his promises to us (2 Peter 1:4.) Our assurance of faith that Hebrews 10 speaks of is both a gift of God and something we must grow. It comes from walking through trials, conflict, sorrow, hardship that refines, strengthens and deepens our trust in God. Here are songs about assurance.

Life can feel overwhelming, which is why Jesus specifically reminded us, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid" (John 14:27). Here is a list of songs that help you focus your heart on His peace.

To experience forgiveness is to understand God’s extension of Himself towards us; undeserved yet freely given. Our response to confession is what restores our position of surrender. As we fall to our knees with our sins before us, God persists to tear through the shadows of our hearts to make us pure again. Forgiveness does not ignore reality, instead, it restores Christ at the center of reconciliation. Here is a list of songs focusing on the gift that is forgiveness.
