Salvation 1

I am going to be blunt if Jesus is not first and foremost in your life and affection you may not be a believer. The scriptures say to examine yourselves to make sure you are in the truth. I am not one to give anyone false assurance, it would be truly wicked of me to tell a person they are saved and then have them go to hell for eternity. Examine yourself not in light of what I say but in light of the bible. It says in 1 John 1:6 "If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth."

God sanctifies not you behave in order to be seen as saved. Our good works are as filthy rags. Those who cried out "Lord, Lord" in Matthew 7 tried to gain entry by saying...
