This truth gives me a tremendous amount of peace, and it is the feeling of being given a life to not be in fear of death. From personal experience and I suspect it magnifies the older one gets. Going to bed at night with the great fear and night sweats of dying and where my soul will eternally reside; I can't communicate the terror and sleepless nights it caused me. What peace and security I now have, accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior. Going to bed at night now, my mind doesn't default to any fear of death, I rest comfortably and peacefully now knowing for sure my eternal soul rests in the Lord Jesus safe hands. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not opposed to jumping up waving my arms and shouting "Jesus Loves Me". Right on, ...one time, as our worship leader was singing (his name was Jack and his wife's name is Jill, no kidding), he paused for about 15-20 seconds and then started to lead us in "Jesus loves me," it was just him and Jill singing the first sentence, ...then the whole church joined in, ...we truly worshiped in Spirit and Truth, is the only thing I can say. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone ever explained how you can know for sure? The solution is a person. The Bible explains that Jesus Christ, being God, innocent and perfect, switched places with us on the cross. He died a horrible death by torture to take our sin, guilt and shame, our imperfection. He then rose from the dead, and as the Bible says, “God loved the world in this way--He gave His Son [I hold one hand up], so whoever trusts Him [I raise my other hand] shall not perish but has eternal life [I fold the fingers of my hands together].” (Trust is clearer than “believe” for John 3:16.) Put another way, “God made Jesus, who was perfect, to be imperfect [I cross my arms over each other] for us, that we who are imperfect might become as perfect as God.”” (2 Corinthians 5:21) 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone ever explained how you can know for sure? First you need to understand what heaven is. Heaven, I believe, is what our lives become when we obey the Lord's commandments. You go there when you repent of your sin (Matt 4:17) - you don't have to wait till you die. Where do we go, then, when we die? I call it the resurrection. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can always feel God's Love in my heart, and all I care about is loving that Love that loves me. Even if I am sent to hell, all I care about is loving God. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Yes. Not said through arrogance. I just accept and love Lord Jesus as Saviour and my greatest wish and hope is to spend eternity in His presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone ever explained how you can know for sure? Shalom @peeday I'm sure you have seen the repetition in the posts. There's no point me contributing but rather may I ask, are you unsure? What concerns you about it the most? Do you feel otherwise for a reason or a worry? Love & Shalom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You feel His love in your heart, but you do not trust God's promise that you will one day be in Heaven worshipping our Heavenly Father and Jesus forevermore? You believe God loves you but would send you to hell? I am confused. Romans 10:9-10 "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." Romans verse 10:9-10 does not declare a promise, but a fact about one's condition of heart at the time of believing. Paul, has no right to make promises on behalf of God. Similarly, who am I to judge where I end up. The point is, if I cared where I end up, I won't be unconditional in my love for Christ/God. Instead, I would be expressing love as a means to win favour, and regardless of how subtle that may be, it still would be a deception, and conditional on my part. Such hidden subtle agendas are unworthy of being saved as a treasure in heaven. So I prefer to let go of any expectations/outcome, and simply love loving the Love that loves me. As I said, that is all I care about. Edited October 14, 2019 by Raven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
