Can you be sure that you are saved?

Can you be sure that you are saved?

A. Preface:  This is a very dumb question!

1. As dumb as asking a woman just gave birth to a new born baby, are you sure this is your baby?

2. Watch the O.B. doctor pulling out the baby from the woman’s womb and ask:

    Are you sure this is your baby?

3. Unsaved people like to ask: Can you be sure that you are truly saved?

4. Yes, each of us can absolutely sure that we are truly saved!

5. There are ample simple instructions in the Bible!

B. Where are all the saved people on earth?

1. All the saved people are in the church of Christ!

2. The Lord added the saved in there!  Ac.2:47

3. Therefore, as long as you are a member of the church of Christ!

    You can be sure that you are truly saved!

4. Church of Christ is the body of Christ. Eph.1:22-23

5. All saved people make up one body of Christ. Ro.12:4-5

6. The body of Christ is the church of Christ!

7. I am sure unsaved people never able to put the above scriptures together as I just did!

C. Where is eternal life?

1. Unsaved people like to preach eternal life is the gift of God!

2. But they never know where to find eternal life!

    Yes, the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ro.6:23

3. How do people get into Christ? Gal.3:27

    For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

4. If one is baptized the Bible way his sins washed away! Ac.2:38, 22:16

    At time of baptism he also receive the gift of the Holy Spirit!

5. This gift of the Holy Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are God's children!

6. Therefore if you are sure that you are in the church of Christ,

    you are sure that you are saved!

7. At the same time you are sure those not in church of Christ are not saved!

D. Do your soul have desire for New Testament Bible knowledge?

1. Read: My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.

    Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests;

    because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children. Hosea 4:6

2. Do you know what said in item B and C before you read these?

    If you do not have the above knowledge, you are not saved!

3. Now that you heard the knowledge do you receive or reject!

4. Reject these knowledge and be destroy!

5. We will know by next Sunday and the following Sundays!

    Now that you heard! If you decide not to come next Sunday ...

    you have more no chance to be saved!

E. The same way to know a live man and a saved man!

1. A live man goes in and out of a family!

    A saved man goes in and out of the church of Christ.

2. A live man eats food and drink water each day!

    A saved man desires to know the truth in the Bible.

3. A live man do something each day!

    A saved man help do works in the church of Christ.

F. Conclusion:

1. A saved man is determined to live according to what Bible says! 1Jn.3:7

2. Not in church of Christ better not say that you believe Jesus!

3. Not in church of Christ say believe Jesus.  Jesus will say you belong to Satan! Jn.8:31-44

May the Lord bless you and keep you always!  Written October 8, 2018.
