"How Do I Know I Am Really Saved?"

By Jacqui Williams

Having a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ affords us with so many benefits and promises. One major benefit is being able to come to the throne of grace with boldness so we can communicate with God one on one. I don't know about you, but I am grateful to God that I can come to Him on my own and not have to relay my most intimate thoughts and personal requests through another person. As we study God's Word and spend more quality time in His presence, this builds our faith and strengthens our confidence in knowing that our salvation is secured. So many times in relationships, it lacks the security and assurance we are looking for, because one or both parties are not giving the relationship the attention that it needs. When it comes to our salvation, we don't just accept Jesus into our heart and sit back and relax; accepting Jesus is only the beginning. Just like any other relationship, it has to be cultivated and will mature through time. The Bible, for an example, mentions the early stages of a new believer as a baby who desires the sincere milk of the Word that he may grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2 KJV). This shows we are not fully grown in the Word, knowing and understanding all of the scriptures and wonders of the Bible the same day we are saved; we learn and grow through time and life experiences with God. After reading this book, my prayer is that it will stir up the desire in each individual to get to know God in a close and personal way, and through this desire, become assured in their faith that they will know, without a doubt, they are Saved!

About the Author

To my mother, grandmother, and every person who prayed and taught me the importance of knowing and receiving Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of my life.

Chapter 1

Receiving God's Truth

This quick reference handbook is put together to help assure those who are new to the faith and those who may have been saved for a long time but still have questioned at some point in their life, How do I know I am really saved? There is only one way that will assure and put to rest any doubt or question in the mind, and that is to know what God's Word says about it. In Romans 10:9–10, it states, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

It's that easy—if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, then you are saved. It is by God's grace through your faith on what you believe that brings about your salvation. The place you must get to is believing within your heart that what you have read from the Word of God is the truth. It is the truth of God's Word that makes you free, and through and by that freedom you will understand and be convinced where nobody can lead you astray, nor will you waver in your mind. You will know without a doubt you are saved in Jesus name.

When I was twelve years old, I received Jesus Christ into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior, and I did not know a lot of scripture. But thank God I had a praying mother and grandmother who were praying and believing God for their whole family to come to know Jesus in a close and personal way. I also
