Be totally sure

How can you as a new believer be sure you are really saved?

Satan's immediate weapon of attack against the new believer is doubt It is important that you understand what God says so you will be assured of your experience.

Matt 13:19 \When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil {one} comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road.

1. GOD CANNOT LIE! ROM 3:4 Let God be true, and every man
a liar.

2. BELIEVE GOD'S TESTIMONY

Doubting God's testimony is accusing God of lying Believe God's testimony rather than the devil's or people's words that can cause you to doubt

I Jn 5:9-13

9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13 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.

3. THREE SOURCES OF ASSURANCE

a. God's Word is true, God does not lie

Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

Heb 6:18.. it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged.

b. You have the Messiah, He is in your life Now

John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him.\

John 5:24 \I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.

c. The witness of God's Spirit in you

Rom 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are
God's children.

4. HAVE THE RIGHT FOUNDATION FOR YOUR FAITH. DO
NOT TRUST IN FEELINGS

Be established in the facts of God's Words.

John 20:31 But these are written that you may believe that Yeshua is the the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

I Jn 5:13 I write these things to you who believe inthe name of the
Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

CHALLENGE:Whom will you believe? The devil, other people or God who cannot lie? God says you are saved. That should settle it. Can you verbalize in prayer of thanksgiving the assurance you have with regards to your salvation?
