CAN I KNOW FOR SURE, IF I'LL GO TO HEAVEN?

Have you ever doubted your salvation? Would it surprise you to know that this is a common problem for many Christians? Wouldn’t you like to know for sure if you're going to Heaven? Wouldn’t you like to never doubt again? …and never again fear that final breath? You Can!

There are two reasons for doubt.

1. You really may not be saved, or

2. You are saved, but Satan is accusing you and trying to keep you from experiencing the abundant life that Christ provided.

YOU CAN KNOW FOR SURE!

1 John 5:13 says, “These things have I written to YOU who believe on the name of the son of God, so THAT YOU MAY KNOW that you have eternal life.”

Answer these questions:

  1. Was there a point in your life when you recognized your sin problem and your need for a Savior? 1John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
    1. Have you confessed to God your sin and your need for His forgiveness?
    2. Has He cleansed You?

If the answer to 'A' is “Yes”, then based on scripture, the answer to 'B' is also “Yes”.

Notice: “If we confess…” that's our part! ...Our only part! If we do our part, then GOD WILL DO HIS PART!

“IF we confess…” GOD WILL!

GOD WILL FORGIVE… GOD WILL CLEANSE…

Next time doubt comes as to whether or not you’re saved… or if you’re forgiven… and you know that you’ve asked God for forgiveness,

THEN REALIZE -

TO DOUBT IS TO DOUBT THAT GOD DID HIS PART!

To doubt is to doubt God’s truthfulness; to doubt is to doubt God’s faithfulness.

Satan wants you to doubt God! If you know that you’ve done your part; then you can trust God to do His part!

2. Revelation 3:20 says, “Behold I stand at the door and knock, If any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in…”

A. Have you ever invited Christ into your heart? (opening the door is an invitation)

B. Is this still the desire of your heart? (to be in Christ?)

C. Then Where is Jesus? (Not based on your feelings but based on scripture, He is in your heart!) Remember, if you’ve done your part; then to doubt is to doubt God.

  1. 1John 5:11,12; “…God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God, has not life.”

Eternal life is IN Jesus Christ!

  1. Do you have the son? (based on Rev. 3:20; 1John 1:9)
  2. Do you have eternal life?
  3. How do you know? GOD’S WORD SAYS IT!

And finally,

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE SON OF GOD? Verse 13…”these things have I written to YOU who believe, (Is that you?)

…so that you may know.” It doesn’t say, so that you may ‘hope’, or ‘think’; it says, know!

Remember, once you’ve done what scripture says you must do, then to doubt is to doubt God!

When I realized this, it settled my own doubts. For I knew:

1. I had done all I could do…

2. It was still the desire of my heart… to be in Christ.

3. To doubt is to doubt God, and I will NOT!
