Assurance

Can a Person know for sure that they can be Saved, and go to Heaven when they die?

1 John 5:13

Important questions you must ask:

1: How can I be saved, and be forgiven of my sins?

The answer is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and confess Him with you mouth as your Lord and Saviour.

Romans 10:9-10, "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

John 3:15-16, " that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16. For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

Romans 4:5, "But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness."

1 John 5:20, "And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life."

Romans 5:21, so that as sin reigned unto death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life though Jesus Christ our Lord."

John 10:28, "And I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand. "

2: How do I know I am saved?

Answer: Note in each of these passages the person who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ receive "eternal life."

God tells us in the passage:

1 John 5:13, "These things have I written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. "

Question 1 deals with "Justification"

Question 2 deals with "Assurance."

There is much confusion. Some say you can not loss your eternal life and others say you can lose it.

The main confusion comes from the pulpits of some churches.

You can loss your eternal life if you keep on sinning

(Rom. 6:1-2). What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?"

Those who deny eternal life should be warned. That you will go to Hell when you die if you do not find the truth.

John 15:6 "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered: and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. (NKJ)

Where can I find the answer to what I am taught, and to believe to be true?

The only source you can say, comes from the Word of God (Bible).

We must seek God's Word to answer all of our questions.
