A saved person knows two things with certainty:
1. I deserve hell.
2. I am saved by the blood of Jesus.
Recently, I asked someone a simple question, “Do you deserve hell?” His answer was, “I often wonder.”
That answer is the problem.
The Bible says all have sinned. A saved person doesn’t wonder: God has already shown them their guilt.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
Salvation doesn’t stop there. A born-again believer doesn’t trust in works, obedience, church, or tradition. He trusts in the finished work of Christ.
“Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. (Romans 5:9).
That’s why the Bible doesn’t say “hope,” “guess,” or “wait and see.”
It says KNOW.
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” (1 John 5:13)
If you say:
• “I hope I’m saved”
• “I’ll find out someday”
• “I’m doing my best”
You do not have biblical assurance.
A saved person says:
That’s not pride. It is faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
