How We Can Absolutely KNOW Absolutely That We Are Saved:

All we Christians need to have the assurance of our salvation. A large

number of we Christians, in the past at times, have struggled against

doubt. The problem is this: Sometimes we feel like we're  saved and

sometimes we feel like maybe we're not saved ~ or  at least we  have

some doubts that enter our minds. The solution to this problem is to

never trust your feelings on this issue because your feelings will 

change with the wind. Your feelings will go from high's to low's

based on the changing winds of circumstances.  Instead of trusting 

in your feelings on this issue,  put all your trust in God's Word which

never changes and God has said clearly and specifically that we can

KNOW for certain that we are saved. And God does not tell lies. He 

always tells the truth. So? So "have faith in God" and KNOW that 

you are saved.

 

("Have faith in God"__The Lord Jesus in Mark 11:22)

 

■ "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God

so that you may KNOW that you have eternal life." 1 John 5:13

 

"SO THAT YOU MAY KNOW YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE"

 

■ "My sheep listen to my voice. I know them, and they follow Me. I give 

them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them

out of My hand. My Father, who gave them to me is greater that all, 

and no one can snatch them out of My Father's hand."

John 10:27-28

 

"THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH"

 

■ "We KNOW that we have passed from death to life, because we love 

each other."

1 John 3:14

 

"WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE PASED FROM DEATH TO LIFE"

 

■ "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that

whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

John 3:16

 

"SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE."

 

■ "Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys My word will never see death"

{that is, spiritual death ~ being lost}

John 8:51

 

"WILL NEVER SEE DEATH"

 

■ "Very truly I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who

sent Me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from

death to life."

John 5:24

 

"WILL NOT BE JUDGED BUT HAS CROSSED OVER FROM DEATH TO

LIFE"

 

■ "Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes
in Me will live, even though they die, and whoever lives by believing in Me will

never die."

John 11:25-26

 

"WILL LIVE, EVEN THOUGH THEY DIE . . . WILL NEVER DIE"

 

■ "If we confess our sins He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins

and purify us from all unrighteousness."

1 John 1:9

 

"WILL FORGIVE US OUR SINS"

 

■ "For I am convinced that neither death not life, neither angles or demons,

neither the present or the future, nor any powers, neither height or depth,  

nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love

of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Romans 8:38-39

 

{NOTHING IN THE UNIVERSE CAN)  "SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF 

GOD"

 

So if you ever have any doubts that you are saved, immediately read those

Bible verses up there  and KNOW that you are saved. If Satan ever tries to

convince you that you are not saved, read  those Bible verses up there and

KNOW that you are saved.

 

God Bless.

@JAG**

As you know, verses alone will not always give you the truth if they are taken out of context or re-purposed into another meaning to fit many other doctrines of faith and salvation.

After about a year after my conversion, I started questioning my churches doctrine, what they believed, and what they did.

That questioning and searching and studying ended up lasting nearly 40 years, after weeding through nearly every faith out there, and what they all believed and why, but the Holy Spirit was faithful even through some rather trying times.

I am still studying and learning, but my questions about my faith and was I saved and in the right church have all been answered by the Holy Spirits leading.

I have a strong foundation of faith and salvation now, which I am building on as I study and grow - PRAISE GOD!!

[Waggles]

Salvation is much more than simply a confession or a baptism - it is a lifelong commitment to faithfulness.

During this steadfast commitment to being disciples of Christ Jesus we have hope in His promises and patience in waiting for our due recompense.

But again it is not simply trusting in the word of God, in some favourite verses, but a Christian who hopes to be saved MUST be a doer of the Word and comply with all that the NT teaches us to do.

[Dennis1209]

When I read the title to this topic, I thought it was going to be a question. I was going to direct the answer to that to a ten question test in 1st John and the Gospel of John. But you did the answering 

[David1701]

If we have genuine faith in the Lord Jesus, then we KNOW that we have eternal life and will never perish.  It is only through faith (a living, loving, trusting relationship with the Lord) that we can have assurance of salvation.  The evidences of that salvation are fruit that the Holy Spirit works in our lives and the witness of the Holy Spirit in us.

Phil. 1:6 (VW) being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it unto the day of Jesus Christ;

1 John 3:7-9 (EMTV)

7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
8 He who practices sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God appeared, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
9 No-one who has been born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 

1 John 5:3,4 (EMTV)

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,
4 because everything having been born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that has overcome the world—your faith.

John 5:24 (EMTV) "Most assuredly I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Salvation is by grace through faith.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

And without faith it is impossible to please God.

Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you now believed?

Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”

Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word.
Thanks for the word, Jag...

The Helmet of Salvation protects against condemnation:

 

Heb 10:22  Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

[Guest kingdombrat]

It's good to leave your loved ones a legacy like how to understand they're saved.   That is a Wonderful Gift!

 

 

I know that I am saved because:

1) God predestined for me to be

2) God gave me the Faith to believe in Him when He invited me to accept Him as my Lord/Savior/Father.

3) God gave me the Faith to continue Believing in Him

4) God went to an awful lot of work to ensure my Salvation, which tells me, He will continue that work to keep me

5) God has guaranteed my Salvation

[JohnD]

John 3:16–18 (AV)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
