1 John 5:11 - God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1 John 5:13 - I write these things to you who believe (keyword: believe) in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

How do you know if you're saved?
If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

… for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13 and Acts 2:21

His sheep will know His Voice.

So you will know you are saved if you know JESUS voice.

This forum is specifically for Introductions, hence the name "Introductions Forum".. The OP's question is a biblical one which will garner much discussion, hence it belongs in the bible forum. Not many people come into the Intro forum, but everyone seems to hang out in the bible forum.. And that forum is where the OP will get more coverage and better answers to their question. :)

Yes!!!!:) If you have completely surrendered your life to Jesus, you have done all you can do and all you need to do. Rest easy, my friend, and WELCOME TO CC !

1 Peter
2:7 Unto you therefore which believe [he is] precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
2:9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
2:10 Which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

How do you know if you're saved?
Sweeter gets the journey every day. It's not about a Religion, it's about a Relationship:) Be patient, that blessed assurance comes to all who seek it.

Do not let Satan distract you from hearing that still small voice inside you...

James
4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.

It's ok, orange kitty. He's a newbie, and it's his litterbox. He can even :poop: here if he wants to. Just as long as he doesn't do anything REALLY grotesque, like posting a naked picture or talking about boobies.

ok I wrong as usuall..

sorry
There's nothing to be sorry about for asking a question, is there? 'There is death and life in the power of the tongue'. I bet you're not wrong all the time, but if you say negative things, everyone including you might believe them. God bless.
