How Can I know I am saved?

The word “gospel’ means “good news.” There is much controversy over what the gospel is today, but this should not be. The gospel is simply believing Christ is your Messiah, salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone plus nothing, minus nothing.  Anyone who claims anything else is teaching what the Apostle Paul called “another gospel.”  A damning gospel. If you would like to get rid of all doubt about where you will spend eternity contact us today and well will be happy to explain from the Bible God’s simple plan of salvation.
 
 Salvation is just believing...

1. Believe in the Deity of Christ
2. Believe the Bible is God’s words and the authority by which you can base your salvation on.
3. Believe you are a sinner and cannot save yourself
4. Believe you need a Saviour and acknowledge that Christ has already paid for your sins.
5. Trust Christ as your Messiah-Redeemer.
6. Stop trusting any other way and put all your trust in His blood atonement. Trust that He has already paid your sin debt in full 2000 years ago.
7. Rest in the Lord’s finished work (death, burial, resurrection, atonement) on your behalf.

If you can do that you can be sure you have heaven and a heavenly father for all eternity.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him [Christ-God in the flesh, John 1:14] should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.

You must repent of your righteousness and accept that you are a sinner as worthy as anyone of eternal damnation. “There is none righteous, no not one.” Romans 3:10

You must realize that you are at the mercy of God to get to heaven, He has provided you a way already if you will receive it. If you reject it or do nothing about it you will be lost. “Neither is there salvation in any other [than Christ]: for there is none other name...whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

2000 years ago Christ provided for salvation of those who will trust [not just believe mentally] in what He has done, in Him alone. “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His [Christ’s] own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.” Hebrews 9:12.

There is no greater news than that Jesus Christ Himself has paid for your sin 100%.  The Scriptures teach us the great transaction was finished 2000 years ago!

Hollywood will never be able to depict accurately how horrible the death on the cross was. Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22 give us a little idea. Isaiah says he was marred more than any man.  His organs must have been hanging out after the scourging He took, his head and body must have undergone considerable swelling from the crown of thorns and having His beard ripped out of his face.

Christ died the the most vial sinners death, yet He being God did not sin (2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 4:15). He was buried in a sinners tomb, yet His body did not decompose (Acts 2:31; 13:35). He rose (was resurrected from the grave bodily) and ascended with His blood the third day (the first day of the week, Sunday). He ascended to heaven and entered into the holy place to place His own blood on the altar in heaven, as our high priest, thereby paying for our sins (atonement) for all eternity. God was satisfied with the sacrifice. Hebrews 9 and 10. You receive Christ by realizing your sins were already paid for and trusting Christ as your Messiah (Saviour).

Now the choice is yours, He made His choice to save us.  He provided a pardon for our sins. We can ignore that and cling to our self-righteousness to save us or choose to put our trust in His righteousness to save us for all eternity. He already paid the price with His blood on the altar (mercy seat) in heaven. His blood is still there making salvation possible for all those who will believe and trust in His finished work. What choice will be yours?

     I choose to accept what Christ did for me as complete, total payment and pardon for sins penalty. I understand His blood satisfied God’s price for my sin. I know I cannot save myself because I am a sinner, so I will trust in what God provided instead.  I accept God’s plan of salvation and no other, adding or taking away nothing from it. I trust Him as my Saviour for all eternity.

     Or, I choose to ignore my responsibility to make a choice now. I don’t need Salvation. I will take my chances.

Which will it be for you?  Let us know what you decide.

John 1:11-14 “He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
 
Salvation is so simple a child can understand it.  Christ who was God in the flesh (John 1:14) became a man, died, resurrected from the grave, put His own blood on the Mercy Seat (Heb.9) and thereby became our sacrifice lamb, paid for our sins 100% over 2000 years ago. All we have to do is believe He is the Messiah, Saviour and trust in His finished work. Rest in the knowledge that our salvation is already paid for by trusting in what He has already done and not in anything we can do.
