1 Bethel Community Church ASSURANCE OF SALVATION 1 John 5: /4/18

2 FOUR ENVELOPES

3 1 JOHN 5:11-13 God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. The one who has the Son has this eternal life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have this eternal life. I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

4 WHY THIS TOPIC? - IT S JUST HEART BREAKING! Always Questioning Standing Causes Fear Can Lead to Giving Up The Bible Says: Can Know Should Know NO Doubt of Fear

5 THREE BASIC QUESTIONS What does Saved really mean? Our Sins are Forgiven! No Punishment We Have Eternal Life in Heaven

6 THREE BASIC QUESTIONS How do we get saved? Jesus is the Son of God Died For Sin and Raised to Life Confess Our Sins Ask Jesus to Forgive Us

7 THREE BASIC QUESTIONS What happens when we get saved? Become a Child of God Born Again Life Changes Minds Renewed Desire God Fellowship Desire to Learn the Word of God The Old has gone, the New has come.

8 WHY DO PEOPLE DOUBT? - FOUR REASONS Don t Understand the Gift Don t Understand Grace Feel Guilty About Sin Bad Teaching

9 HOW CAN WE KNOW FOR SURE? Two Ways to Know: 1. Believe What the Bible Says 2. See the Changes in Your Life Is that even possible? Yes!

10 BIBLE VERSES ON SALVATION Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13

11 BIBLE VERSES ON SALVATION I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24

12 BIBLE VERSES ON SALVATION For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast. Eph. 2:8-9

13 BIBLE VERSES ON SALVATION And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Eph. 4:30

14 BIBLE VERSES ON SALVATION Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2

15 BIBLE VERSES ON SALVATION Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. Hebrews 13:5

16 BIBLE VERSES ON SALVATION For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of Romans 8:38-39 God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

17 LIVE CHANGE Proof of Saving Faith! NO (Not Saved) Yes (Saved) Answer these questions concerning your personal faith. Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God? Have you asked Jesus to forgive you of your sins? Has your life started to change after asking Jesus to forgive you? Do you feel ashamed with you do bad things? Do you enjoy the friendship or being around other Christians? Do you like hearing or reading the Bible? Do you like watching Christian shows or movies? Do you want to help others in need? Do you want to live to please God? Do you like (or can you listen) to Christian music? Do you pray to God as a Christian (in Jesus Name)? Do you know in your heart that God loves you? Number of marks in each column
