Presentation transcript:

I Want to be Sure!

2 Corinthians 6:2; Hebrews 3:7-8 James 4:17 2 Corinthians 6:2; Hebrews 3:7-8

I want to be sure… About my faith – 2 Cor. 13:5 Test it by using the word of God – Rom. 10:17 Do not test using the faith of others, emotions, human traditions, experiences, etc. – Col. 2:8

I want to be sure about my faith… That Jesus really is the Son of God – Matt. 16:13-17 (Jno. 5:36-39, 46-47; 20:30-31) That there really is only one church – Matt. 16:18; Acts 2:47; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4; 5:23 That the Bible really is the word of God – 1 Ths. 2:13; 2 Tim. 3:16-17

I want to be sure about… What I must do to be saved Sure that you are a sinner? (Rom. 3:23) Sure you want to be saved? (Rom. 6:23) Will you trust & obey God’s grace & truth? (Rom. 5:8; Eph. 1:7; Rom. 1:16) Will you obey the gospel? Believe in Christ (Heb. 11:6; Jno. 8:24) Confess your faith (Matt. 10:32-33) Repent of your sins (Lk. 13:3, 5; Acts 17:30) Be baptized (Acts 2:38; 22:16; 1 Pet. 3:21)

I want to be sure about… My ability to remain faithful Will never be faithful if you do not begin – Acts 22:16 Will always be faithful if you do what Bible says is right – 1 Jno. 1:7; 2:3-6 You can achieve what others before you have accomplished – Heb. 10:32-35 With endurance – Heb. 10:36-39 You will be tempted, but you can escape & stand – 1 Cor. 10:12-13; Eph. 6:13; Jas. 4:7

I want to be sure about… My eternal destiny You can be sure of heaven by being a faithful Christian – 1 Jno. 5:11-13; 2 Tim. 1:12 There is no confidence of heaven if you are disobedient to Christ – 2 Ths. 1: 8-9 (Phil. 3:19)

Dangers Delay – Acts 22:16; 16:33 Excuses – Acts 24:24-25 Missed opportunities – Prov. 27:1 Hardened heart – Heb. 3:7-8, 13 Becomes easier to say “no” (Eph. 4:19; Eccl. 12:1) Do not refuse Him who speaks to you! (Heb. 12:25)

The Question For You Are you sure of your spiritual safety? (Are you saved or lost?) Do you want to be saved & go to heaven? Then, obey gospel & be saved! If you delay & die, you will be forever lost in your sin!
