Have you been saved?
Many people, even Christians don’t have a right answer for this
question.They don’t even know the meaning of being saved.? Many people
are not even aware of the danger
they are in because The Bible "He who believes in Him is not
condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he
has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of
God. "John;3:18.
Also the scripture
says,"He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does
not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on
him." John;3:36.
The disciples once, asked Jesus, ”Lord, are there few who are
saved?” Luke; 13:23.On the day of Pentecost, to the multitudes who
heard the word and believed, Peter said, ”Be saved from this perverse
generation.” Acts;2:40. The first question of the terrified Jailor,who
was about to kill himself, to Paul and Silas was, ”Sirs,
what must I do to be saved. ”And they replied, ”Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ and you will be saved.”Acts; 16:30,31. Once a person
accepts Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord and gives the lordship of
his life over to Him, and live a life pleasing to God, that person can
say that he is saved.
Man
by his own wisdom or ability or efforts cannot get saved, from this
wicked generation and the bondage of sin and the coming wrath,
condemnation and hell and all that.That is why the world needed a
Savior.Jesus Christ is that Savior.The Bible says,”God did not send His
Son into the world to condemn the world.But the world through Him might be saved.”John;3:17. The Bible very clearly says,”There is salvation is no
other,for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which
we must be saved”Acts;4:12. The Lord Jesus said,”I am the door, whoever
enters through will be saved.”John;10:9. The first step is to believe.”Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”Mark;16:16. To the question, the disciples asked, ”Who then can be saved? Jesus answered,
”With men this is impossible. but with God all things are possible.
”Mathew; 19:25,26. With God’s help and grace, one can work out his own
salvation .How is this possible? Lord Jesus said, ”Strive to enter
through the narrow gate.”Luke;13:24.Getting saved is an ongoing process.
It is a hard way. It will be completed only at the end of the journey.
The Bible speaks about two groups of people.Those who are being saved
and those who are perishing [1:Cor:1:18]This question is very
important. Are you saved? If you are not sure, that means you are not.
But it is not yet too late.Some people need a coming back.They have
strayed from God’s way and thus lost surety of salvation.They need to
return to God with repentance and get right with God. You can have the
assurance of salvation today by believing in Lord Jesus
and start your journey on the way to be saved. So join the group of
people who are being saved and have the assurance of your salvation
today.
