"If the seal of the Spirit marks you out as belonging to God, that is true whether you have a deep assurance of that or not. If you get out and skate on the ice, it's not your faith in the ice that holds you up--it's the thickness of the ice. You may be wobbly. You may feel like "I'm gonna fall through any minute." But if the ice is two feet thick, even if your faith is weak, it is the object of your faith that holds you up. But the goal is to experience the freedom of skating around on the ice knowing that you have no possible way of falling through."
