But are you saved? Really? Do you know if you're saved?
“And
the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and
it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
And
Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.”
Numbers 21:8-9 KJV
“And
as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:14-16 KJV
“
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said,
signifying what death he should die.”
John 12:32-33 KJV
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;”
1 Corinthians 15:1-3 KJV
“Then
said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
I am the door of the sheep.
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.”
John 10:7-9, 11 KJV
If we trust the savior we’ll be saved but “salvation” is from this
“and to you who are troubled rest with us, when
the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
when
he shall come to be glorified in his saints,
and to be admired in all them that believe because
our testimony among you was believed in that day.”
2 Thessalonians 1:7-10
“For
the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and
the dead in Christ shall rise first: then
we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and
so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 KJV
“in a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and
the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we ( who are still alive )
shall be changed.”
1 Corinthians 15:52 KJV
were being promised salvation from the lake of fire where the ungodly are punished
“but
the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But
the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which
the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. ( just before this happens believers will all be saved the dead raised up with the lord and those alive also changes and raised up to save them from the sudden destruction but we have a promised land )
Nevertheless
we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
2 Peter 3:7, 10, 13-16 KJV
“For yourselves know perfectly that
the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
But
ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”
1 Thessalonians 5:2-6 KJV
