Looking closely at this verse, whicauses so many to wondoer about assurance, shows their folloy of looking to their works.

have we not prophesied in thy name?

And in thy name have cast out devils?

And in thy name done many wonderful works?

The whole assurance of their salvation is in what THEY have done. Not what Christ has done. This is how one can be assured. By leaving all self works behind and looking to Christ Alone.. What a glroious truth...
Excellent point!

It is so easy to get discouraged and mislead when we take our eyes off the Savior and look too much to ourselves.
