我们购买电子器材、汽车和很多其他物品时，通常都附有保证书。保证书在某程度上是一个承诺，保证如果商品操作出现问题，我们是可以要求维修或更换的。

在使徒信经中，当我们宣告“我信圣灵”时，我们声明圣灵是我们的凭据。

圣经清楚指出，神必定会遵守祂所作出的每一个应许。而最重要的，就是神曾经应许，藉着祂的儿子耶稣，祂赦免了我们的罪。神又曾应许，祂垂听和回应我们的祷告，而祂也永远不会弃绝或撇下我们。

这些都是奇妙的应许。然而有时我们也会怀疑它们是否真实。你有没有试图怀疑圣经中的教导？你有没有怀疑过自己是否真的已经得救？你会不肯定神是否真的垂听和回应你的祷告吗？

神的儿女有一个永远的凭据，这凭据是神藉耶稣的血将我们赎出归属祂。升到天上后，耶稣差遣圣灵成为我们归属神的活的凭据。今天圣灵住在我们心里，祂向我们保证，无论在什么境况，我们都属于神。

疑惑和试探是会临到我们的。当它们到来时，请你留心聆听圣灵在你心里的提醒。神爱我们，圣灵就是我们不可动摇的凭据，就留心聆听和跟从祂吧。

When we buy electronics, cars, and many other things, they often come with a warranty. This is sort of a guarantee, a promise that the item can be repaired or replaced if it doesn’t work right.

When we say, with the Apostles’ Creed, "I believe in the Holy Spirit, " we assert that the Holy Spirit is our guarantee.

The Bible declares that God will keep every promise he has ever made. Most importantly, God has promised that he has forgiven our sins through his Son, Jesus. God has also promised that he hears and answers our prayers and that that he will never reject or abandon us.

These are wonderful promises. Yet we can sometimes have doubts. Do you ever doubt what the Bible teaches? Do you ever wonder if you’re really saved? Do you wonder if God really hears and answers your prayers?

God’s children have an eternal guarantee, and it’s been purchased for us through the blood of Jesus. After ascending to heaven, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to be our living guarantee. Now the Holy Spirit dwells in our hearts, assuring us in all circumstances that we belong to God.

Doubts and temptations will come. When they do, listen for the gentle promptings of the Holy Spirit in your heart. The Spirit is our unshakable guarantee that God loves us. Listen and follow him.
