Doctrine 8 question - How do you know you're saved?

We believe that we are justified by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and that he that believeth hath the witness in himself.



You questionably know you are saved. If you're questioning your own personal Salvation, you're most likely not saved.

The bible shows that the prophets, apostles, and saints knew that they were saved. Job knew that "his redeemer lived" and enoch knew that he pleased God. Nothing in the bible is more evident than those holy people acted, fought, and suffered under the fullest conviction that they were the children and servants of the most high God.



1 John 3:19
It is by our actions that we know we are living in the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before the Lord.



Common sense says that you can't be forgiven, be made a new creature, Love God with all your heart, give up living a selfish life, have a heart washed from sin, consecrate yourself to saving souls, and altogether live such i christ-like life as we are called to live as followers of Christ, but be in doubt of your salvation.

You know when you're living a converted life!

He hates things that before he loved,
He loves things that before he hated.
