Josh from Duluth writes in to ask a very common question that we get almost every day through

email and is this, Pastor John, how do I know if I am saved?

Josh, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, Acts 1631.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in

Him will not perish, but have eternal life.

John 3.16 Romans 3.28, we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the

law.

The whole book of John, according to chapter 20 verse 31, is written so that you might

believe that Jesus is the Son of God and have believing, have life in His name.

So the unmistakable message all through the New Testament is we are saved by believing

on Jesus.

So rivet your attention on Christ in the Gospels, John, Matthew, Mark, Luke, the whole Bible.

Rivet your attention on Christ and say what you see.

We confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and say what you feel about this.

I receive Him, I love Him, He's my God, He's my Lord, He's my treasure, confess that.

Accept yourself here, yourself saying that, say that to other, say it to your wife, say

it to your kid, say it to your friend, Jesus is my Lord.

The Bible says no one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit, isn't that amazing?

Nobody can say Jesus is Lord.

So if you say it and mean it, God's work in your life, you have the Holy Spirit.

So what is faith?

It's believing, John 1-12.
