Concise Bible Dictionary
:
This word has in the
Old
Testament
a different application from that which it has in the
New
Testament In the former it is “
confidence
or trust,” and agrees with the hopes of
God
’s earthly people in connection with the security in which
Israel
will dwell when restored to their land, when all their enemies shall have been
put
down by
divine
power
: the effect of
righteousness
will be “quietness and assurance
forever
,” (
Isa. 32:17
17
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. (Isaiah 32:17)
): whereas in their disobedience they should fear
day
and
night
and have no assurance of their
life
(
Deut. 28:66
66
And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: (Deuteronomy 28:66)
).
In the New Testament the
Greek
word πληροφορἰα implies “full assurance” and refers to
eternal
salvation
.
The gospel
reaches a
soul
in power, and in the
Holy
Ghost
and in “much full assurance” (
1 Thess. 1:5
5
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. (1 Thessalonians 1:5)
). We also meet with:
1.
the full assurance of
faith
(
Heb. 10:22
22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. (Hebrews 10:22)
); the reception of God’s
testimony
respecting the work of Christ and the
glory
He now enjoys:
2.
the full assurance of
hope
(
Heb. 6:11
11
And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: (Hebrews 6:11)
), issuing in continued diligence of the saints in their work and labor of love: and
3.
the full assurance of
understanding
, (
Col. 2:2
2
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; (Colossians 2:2)
), for full
knowledge
in the
mystery
of God.
