How Can I know For Sure If Im Born Again, I know I am saved because Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died to purchase my salvation. That is a historical fact. That is the saving work of Christ. I also know I am saved because of the internal witness of the Spirit: It is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one (1 John 5:6-8). Through faith we receive the witness of God through the Spirit that Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead for our sanctification. There is, therefore, no excuse for not believing. The Bible promises that the Holy Spirit will help anyone to believe who wants to believe. First the Spirit witnesses to us; then He witnesses in us. My salvation does not hinge on my emotions. I have an official record. I have the Word of God: These things have I written unto you that believe on the Name of the Son of God: that ye may know that ye have eternal life (1 John 5:13). The Fruit of Our Behavior: The root of our belief, we need only look at the fruit of our behavior to know whether or not we are truly saved. What has Jesus done in me? Is this all just some intellectual exercise, or has there been a change? Our salvation ought to show up in our behavior. Do you believe in Jesus Christ now? Are you trusting in Him today? Is there evidence in your life today that you are the offspring of the living God? That is the proof of your salvation... My friends/Families, have you given your life to the Lord? Do you have the assurance that if you were to die right now, you would go straight to heaven? If not, please let me tell you how you can be for sure... Admit Your Sin, You must understand that you are a sinner. The Bible says, All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Abandon Self-Effort, You must understand that you cannot save yourself by your efforts. The Bible is very clear that its not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us (Titus 3:5). Again, By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). Acknowledge Christs Payment, You must believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for your sins. The Bible says, God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). That means He died in your place. Your sin debt has been paid by the blood of Jesus Christ, which cleanseth us from all sin (1 John 1:7). Accept Him as Savior, You must put your faith in Jesus Christ and Him alone for your salvation. The blood of Christ does you no good until you receive Him by faith. The Bible says, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved (Acts 16:31). Have you ever taken this all-important step of faith? If not, I urge you to do it right now... Why? Because Jesus Is The Only Way To Heaven!
