How Do I Know I’m Saved?
Not every new believer comes to Jesus Christ without a spiritual background. How do we share the Gospel with someone who already believes they are saved?
First, we must ask if they believe in the separation of man and God. The Bible says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Humanity has tried to bridge that separation in many ways, but nothing we do can close the gap.
Next we must ask if they believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to bridge that separation. Jesus Himself says, “No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
Finally, we must ask if they believe that salvation cannot be lost. If sin cost us our relationship with God, then every little slip up would put us in jeopardy; and Jesus Christ’s death, which covers all our sins, would be useless.
If we have surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ and asked for forgiveness of sin, we belong to God forever. That’s the truth of salvation.
