How Can I be Sure I’m Saved?
Dear God question
Watchman Nee- story of new convert
How do I know for sure I’m saved?
Postmodern Mindset
Philosophy based on feelings
Advertising to relationships
I don’t “feel” in love anymore
Situational ethics
Not on the Bible, but on whatever “feels” right
Emotions change- up and down
Impact on Christians?
Some days we don’t “feel” like Christians
God, are You there? I can’t “feel” You.
I must not be a Christian anymore
Works
Manager & Sales Rep
Bible- we see a list of do’s and don’ts
We “feel” like we have to be perfect
As a father, mother, child, etc.
List do’s and don’ts
Isn’t that what we see?
Don’t mess up, you’ll get kicked out of the club
Eph. 2:9
We’re saved, but not by works
We’re harder on us that God is
He’s not waiting for you to fail
He’s not waiting to yank salvation away from you
We don’t jump in and out of salvation
So what is it that saves us? (Saved by Grace)
John 8- Adulterous woman
What would you call that? (v. 10, 11)
It’s called grace
And you’re saved by it
Eph. 2:8
Where do you find this grace? Ro. 8:1
How do you get in Christ? Plan of Salvation
So what?
How can I be sure?
2 Co. 12:9
When you are weakest, He is strongest
His grace is sufficient
