There are many people who are unsure of their salvation and are always wondering if they are truly saved. They question the reality of their salvation and live with tons of uncertainty. If you really want to know, then consider the following three truths.
THE WORD OF GOD: there is absolutely no substitute for knowing what the Word of God has to say about salvation and the promises of Scripture. Have you done what the Bible says you must do? Have you looked and studied and prayed over those truths? You must believe. Acts 16:31. You must repent. Luke 13:3, 5. You must obey. John 14:23-24. Exposure to Biblical teaching is a necessity!
THE WORK OF JESUS CHRIST: Your salvation is based on the merits of Jesus Christ alone. Who He is and what He did as our Substitute and Savior and Sacrifice. You are not saved by your works. You are not kept saved by your works. But works are an indication that you have been saved. True faith always manifests itself in outward, tangible ways. Sometimes called the obedience of faith. Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans 1:16; James 2:26. We must always study the unsearchable riches of Christ!
THE WITNESS OF THE SPIRIT: You are born again by the Spirit of God. He, the Holy Spirit, comes to indwell you and His Spirit will witness to your spirit that you are indeed a child of God. I know that I know that I know. John 3:1-7; I Corinthians 6:19-20; Romans 8:9-11 and 16-17. We are indwelt and empowered by His Spirit!
Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. All bound up in the person and work of Christ and nothing can ever take that away! Read the great passage in Romans 8:35-39.
Blessed assurance Jesus is mine
O what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior, all the day long!
