5-2 Salvation – Assurance

How Can I Know I’m Saved?

Admit That You Have Sinned Against God.

• God’s Righteous Standard – “All have Sinned” (Romans 3:23). Even King David admitted in Psalm 51:5 “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.”

Understand The Consequences of Your Sin.

• The Bible tells us that sin has separated us from God (Isaiah 59:2).  Scripture also teaches that sin produces spiritual death within us (Romans 6:23) and places us under a curse (Galatians 3:10) Because of Sin we deserve God’s Judgment.

Realize That Jesus Christ is our Only Solution to Sin.

• Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)  Since He alone paid the penalty our sin occurred, He alone is able to Save us.

Receive Christ as Your Savior.

• This is done by repenting of our sins (Acts 3:19), believing in Christ (Acts 16:31), then openly confessing Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9-10).  The Bible promises: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).

You may call on the Lord right now.  You may pray a prayer something like this:

‘Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I’m a sinner.  I know I can’t save myself.  I now receive You into my life as Savior and Lord.  I’m truly sorry for my sin, and I now accept Your love and full forgiveness.  I look forward to living with You forever in Heaven.  Please bless my family.  May they come to know You, too.  Amen.

If that is your decision today, write your name and the date in the spaces below:

I have trusted Jesus Christ as my Savior.
