“By grace are you saved, through faith”
Ephesians 2:8

“Know the Gospel. Know what the Good News is and how it talks of free forgiveness, of change of heart, of adoption into the family of God, and of countless other blessings. Especially know Christ Jesus the Son of God, the Saviour of men, united to us by His human nature and yet one with God. And thus the He was able to lay His hand on both be the connecting link between the sinner and the Judge of all the earth. Endeavor especially to know more and more of Christ Jesus. Endeavor especially to know the doctrine of the sacrifice of Christ, for the main point which addresses saving faith itself is this: “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them” (2 Corinthians 5:19). Know that Jesus was” made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree” (Galatians 3:13). Drink deep of the doctrine of the substitutionary work of Christ, for therein lies the sweetest possible comfort to the guilty sons of men, since the Lord, “made Him to be sin for us…that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Faith begins with knowledge.”
Saving faith is not a shot in the dark. It is not hope based on hope, but it is hope based on knowledge and that knowledge is the Word of God. We should be able to communicate why it is we believe that we are saved. Too many people are a question mark when they should be an exclamation mark.
What joy is there in the life of one who says they hope they are saved? Why would any one of us share the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ if we walk around in fear of our own future destination? My friend it was nailed on the cross and can be nailed down in our own lives. “Faith begins with knowledge.” If you have no assurance of salvation click on the “Decision and Destiny” page and based on God’s word you will have true knowledge of salvation. If you are saved be an exclamation mark and share the Gospel!
