GO! Evangelism - Do You Have Assurance of Salvation?

Salvation is a fundamental concept in Christianity, encapsulating the idea of being saved or delivered from sin and its consequences. But what does salvation mean, and how can one be assured of it? This article explores the meaning of salvation, the assurance of salvation, and the role of evangelism in solidifying this assurance.

Understanding Salvation

To define salvation, we look to the Bible, which describes it as the act of God's grace through which believers are delivered from sin and its penalties. What is salvation in the Bible? It is the gift of eternal life with God, made possible through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. What does salvation mean for believers? It means being reconciled with God, being forgiven of sins, and being promised eternal life.

Assurance of Salvation

Many Christians wonder, "Can you lose your salvation?" or "Can salvation be lost?" The assurance of salvation is the confidence that once you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, your salvation is secure. This assurance is rooted in the promises of God in the Bible and the inner witness of the Holy Spirit.

How Can I Be Assured of My Salvation?

Believe in Jesus Christ: The foundation of salvation assurance is faith in Jesus Christ. John 3:16 assures us, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Live a Transformed Life: Evidence of salvation is seen in a transformed life. Galatians 5:22-23 speaks of the fruit of the Spirit, which includes love, joy, peace, and self-control.
Hold Onto God's Promises: There are numerous verses about assurance of salvation. Romans 8:38-39, for example, assures us that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
Regular Self-Examination: 2 Corinthians 13:5 encourages believers to examine themselves to see if they are in the faith.

The Role of Evangelism

Evangelism is spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. It is crucial for salvation assurance because it reaffirms one's faith and helps others find salvation. How can we have assurance of salvation? By sharing our faith, we remind ourselves of the truth of the gospel and the reality of our salvation. Learn more about how evangelism is a key part of the world’s most urgent mission.

Struggling With Assurance of Salvation

It's normal to have moments of doubt. If you're struggling with assurance of salvation, remember that salvation is based on God's promises, not your feelings. Seek support from your church community, and consider resources like "Infinite Blessings Given to Believers Who Evangelize" to strengthen your faith.
