How can I know if I am Saved?

Posted on 08 Apr 2018, Pastor: Rev. Derek Geldart

How can one truly know if one is saved or not? While many are quick to publicly say YES, I am saved, their young age of conversion, their failing to forgive others, their continuation to sin, their general lack of faith and fruits of the Spirit; has left many to question their salvation. If those who prophesy, drive out demons and perform miracles in the name of Jesus are in danger of hearing the words “I never knew you, away from me, you evildoers” (Matthew 7:21-23) then why shouldn’t the “lukewarm carnal” Christians of today’s society fear they won’t make it to heaven either? Since salvation is not based on something tangible like good deeds (Ephesians 2:8-9) but on hope and assurance of what is unseen (Hebrews 11:1), what evidence can one find that would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that one is truly saved? And even if one was saved at one point in time would not a lack of faith in Jesus in the present mean salvation lost? In today’s sermon we are going to examine how one can confirm one’s salvation and in doing so put aside any fear of not spending an eternity with Jesus.
