Don’t doubt your salvation

You would be surprised how many people harbour doubts about their salvation. So, let’s open God’s Word and settle the issue once and for all: ‘God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life… I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.’ (1 John 5:11–13 NIV) Are you trusting Christ to save you instead of depending on your own good works? Then you’re saved! Jesus said, ‘He who believes in Me has everlasting life.’(John 6:47 NKJV)

Doubts always arise when you go by your feelings instead of the Bible. Your feelings are like the weather; they constantly change. The devil will also try to tell you salvation is fine for other people, but it won’t work for you. Scripture says Satan is ‘a liar.’ (John 8:44 NIV)

Paul writes, ‘I know the One in whom I trust, and I am sure that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until the day of His return.’ (2 Timothy 1:12 NLT) The old-timers used to testify, ‘I thank God for His saving and keeping power.’ You’re not keeping your salvation; your Saviour is keeping you! So when your faith feels shaky, stop and pray: ‘Lord Jesus, I have placed my trust in You. Your Word says that I can know I have eternal life. It’s not a matter of feeling good enough or worthy, but of believing that You are worthy. So, I put my trust in You, choose to believe Your Word, and reject my doubts.’
