Join us when Travis and Zechariah talk about how to be sure of your salvation.
How can I be sure of my salvation?
God wants you to know for sure that you have eternal life. Eternal life is not based on your feelings, but on the facts found in the Bible.
1. Your assurance is Based on the WORD of God. The Bible states in John 3:16 and 1 John 5:11-13 that God wants you to know that you can eternal life.
2. Your assurance is Based on the Promises of God. What are the promises found in the following passages? Romans 10:9 & John 5:24.
3. Your Assurance is Based on the Character of God. A promise is only as reliable as the person who makes it. That is why assurance of your salvation rests on God’s character. What do these verses teach about His character? (See 1 Cor. 1:9, 1 Thess. 5:24, & Heb. 10:23)
The Bible teaches that God is faithful (reliable, steadfast, trustworthy, and stable). You can believe the promises because you know the Promisor. God, your loving Father, is absolutely faithful. Nothing will change His mind about your salvation. Nothing will separate you from His love. Your relationship to God through Jesus is secure.
What does God’s Word say about the security of your salvation? Answer: Let’s look at Romans 8:38-39 Can any circumstance separate you from God?
4. Your Assurance is Based on the Spirit of God. To further assure you of your salvation God has sent living, daily proof of your relationship. As an official seal is placed on a contract between two individuals to guarantee the contract’s validity, so god has given a seal (guarantee) of His promise to you. See Eph. 1:13-14.
a. What is the seal given by God as a guarantee of His promise?
b. The Holy Spirit at work within you is indisputable proof of your salvation. The Holy Spirit’s work in your life will bring changes. Some changes will be gradual; some will be instant. The inward and outward changes that result are the final proof of your salvation.
5. Final Question: What changes have you seen in your life since you committed it to Jesus Christ?
