How to Grow in the Christian LifeBe Sure of Your SalvationNo one can grow spiritually who lacks the assurance of salvation. Feeling that youre a Christian or hoping that youre destined for Heaven will never give peace of mind that youre right with God. The Bible teaches that if you have received Jesus Christ as Savior, then you should know that you have:Assurance of salvation. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name (John 1:12).Forgiveness of Sin. [God] hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son; in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:13-14). Certainty of eternal life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life (1 John 5:13).If you have placed your faith entirely on Jesus Christs death for you, then take Him at His word when he said, Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life (John 8:24).
