How to be Sure You Are a Christian

• Have you come to the place in your spiritual life
  where you know for certain that you are going to
  Heaven?
• You have just read lifes most important
  question. To know that you have eternal life is
  absolutely essential to your well being, now and
  forever.

3

• However God has given us a clear word and
  promised a certain hope. From the Bible, read the
  words of 1 John 513
• These things I have written to you who believe
  in the name of the Son of God, that you may know
  that you have eternal life, and that you may
  continue to believe in the name of the Son of
  God.

4

• You can absolutely know that you are going to
  heaven! How? By believing on the name of the Son
  of God, Jesus Christ, and trusting His word of
  promise.

Here is the good news

• 1. Salvation is a free gift!
• For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of
  God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
  Lord.--Romans 623
• But, there is a problem

6
2. Man is a sinner.

• For all have sinned and fall short of the glory
  of God. -Romans 323
• But no one is perfect! We have all sinned and
  therefore cannot save ourselves by simply living
  a good life.
• Why?

7
3. God is love and does not want to punish you,
but He is also holy and therefore must punish sin.
8
Sin is Gods enemy, and He hates
it!

• His righteousness demands that something be done
  about our sin problem, for His words in Exodus
  347, Yet he does not leave the guilty
  unpunished, points to no clemency for the sinner.

9
So we have a dilemma.

• How can God love us and, at the same time, judge
  our sin?
• The answer is the greatest news ever shared.
• Are you ready for this?

10
4. God solved the dilemma in the person of Jesus
Christ.

• The Bible declares, In the beginning was the
  Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
  God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among
  us, (John 11, 14).

11

• Jesus was fully God and fully man during his
  ministry on Earth. The ultimate demonstration of
  His deity is the cross and resurrection. Jesus
  Christ made it possible for us to go to Heaven by
  dying on the cross. He took our place of
  judgment, and the wrath of God that burns against
  sin fell on Him.

12
2 Corinthians 521

• For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for
  us, that we might become the righteousness of God
  in Him.
• What does all this mean?

13
5. Man can receive Gods forgiveness of sin and
gift of eternal life by faith.

• Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will
  be saved. -Acts 1631
• "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will
  be saved. - Rom 1013
• Only by faith can we know Gods love and
  forgiveness.

14
Have you made that commitment to Jesus Christ?

• Do you trust in Him alone for your salvation?

15

• You can receive Jesus Christ right now by faith
  through prayer. God is not so much concerned with
  the words of your mouth as He is with the
  attitude of your heart.
• If you desire to have this certainty of
  salvation, you can right now!

16
A Prayer you can pray right now

• God, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I
  deserve the consequences of my sin. However, I am

  Jesus alone as my personal Lord and Savior.
