    How do i know im saved
  • Mild Bill - In Reply on Psalms 1 - 4 years ago
    Confidence in salvation is the possession of believers,that is,what Christ did on the cross was not just for the world,but for you in particular.Has God made himself known to you as your Savior,yes or no?You never earn salvation and you never deserve it. God in his mercy withholds immediate judgement for your sins and is gracious in giving his love/son to sinners.Has God made himself known to you as your Savior,yes or no? Everything in your life is secondary to the answer of that question, yes or no. God awaits your answer,now.

    what do you mean by Has God made himself known to you as your Savior? how can i know if he did
  • Mild Bill - In Reply on Psalms 1:6 - 4 years ago
    God awaits your answer now, speak with him alone from your heart.Did Jesus die for YOUR sins?What you want from God, you have to speak with him about.
  • WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT JESUS - In Reply on Psalms 1 - 4 years ago
    God is not going to bring us to himself with any kind of gimmick.

    He sent HIS WORD. He sent Jesus the Son of God. Through Jesus's death on the Cross and Resurrection 3 days later. Jesus was born through a virgin. Babies have their Fathers blood type; not the mothers blood type. His blood was PURE from the sin of humankind. That's why His blood was powerful enough to save and heal the whole world....(past, present, future). IF THEY BELIEVE.

    Every Walmart in America sells Bibles. The Bible is how we learn WHO Jesus is. Why does HE love us?

    If you go into it with a "what can Jesus do for me? Can he make me rich? Make me look like King David? You're not going to feel the Love.

    We give Jesus OUR SINFUL lives and receive HIS SINLESS life. Good trade? It cost Him everything!! He suffered huge, and He did it for YOU.

    You should watch the movie that Mel Gibson made called: THE PASSION. It is so realistic; I felt sick, I cried for days.

    That's just a movie. Jesus lived that; he died; He was resurrected!! He is alive!

    He sees you right now, reading this.

    As soon as you say YES, your life will be changed.

    This website has different helps to study with. You may want to look over the one that asks if you seek salvation. Good to know what it's all about.

    He's coming back soon so don't wait too long to make a decision. He's alive. He's closer than you can imagine.

    I pray with all my heart that you would find Jesus the same way I did.

    You compare your experience with John 3, when Jesus was talking to Nicodemas

    You must be born again of water and of the Spirit.
  • Mishael - In Reply on Psalms 1 - 4 years ago
    John: 3:5-18. Being born again.

    The water baptism is an act of obedience. To Wash away our sins and rise into the new life.

    Upon being born again the Holy Spirit is given to minister to the new life in Christ.

    John 16:8-16. This indwelling is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus.

    There's much to learn about Him. 2 Corinthians 12-14 chapters

    Any time anyone needs help understanding scripture: find the scripture and ask the Holy Spirit to explain it.

    May your lives bloom as begin a lifelong relationship with the Son of God By the Study of His Written Word and His Living Spirit.

    Baptism is a commandment. Whenever the word "must" is used there is no getting around it. I don't quite understand what an "act of obedience" is. I know it is written "to obey is better than sacrifice". If we don't obey, we sacrifice our salvation. Jesus said "Ye must be born again" or we cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.

    The word is what cleanse you

    the word of God is Called water

    26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

    41Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

    4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

    5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
