"I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me."
In the last 3 chapters of Song of Solomon, there is much description of her Beloved. There is no more the scenarios of seeking and finding, but all is about description.
I am my Beloved's - it is the certainty of knowing Who's we are; 'I am' is the clear declarative statement about our relationship with Christ. We describe this or refer to this, as the 'believers' assurance'. Paul wrote, 'I know Whom I have believed and am persuaded that HE is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him.' That is pretty certain, is it not? ARe you able to say as this phrase, 'I am my Beloved's'? Is the certainty of your relationship found in Christ alone.
Do you know your saved, born again, a true child of God? And the answers: 'I go to church'; 'I have been baptized'; 'I believe in God'; 'I'm not such a bad person'; 'I'm not as bad as so and so'. And in all these answers there is no answering the question. You see the question is a yes or no. And if they say no, you knwo to present the invitation to salvation. If they say, 'yes'; then you proceed to say, 'How do you know you are saved?' And some way some how, this truth will come, 'I am my Beloved's'. It is the relationship between Almighty God; Father, Son and Spirit in relationship with the child of God.
What makes us HIs' is the price HE paid for us. HE bought us; His death was for us; His love goes out to us; He knew us; He made us; He yearned over us; in all these things, we are His'.
