Someone’s Knocking
AUGUST 17, 2026
Daily Reading—Psa. 65-68 / Rom. 9
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
How can I know I’m saved? Many people over the years have asked me that question. While there are several answers, and many are correct, I believe Romans 8:16 gives us a very clear answer. It says, “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:” In other words, God will let you know. He knocks at our heart’s door.
Whenever my children were disobedient, I would discipline them. When they did something well, I would compliment them. The Holy Spirit does much the same thing in our hearts after we receive Christ. When we sin, the Spirit bears witness. He lets us know. When we are good, He also encourages us.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
So, has someone been knocking at your heart’s door?
