An issue I wrestle with on an ongoing basis is
How Can I Really Know I'm Saved.
Why, You might ask? Well, I don't wish to be mistaken given the consequences if I was wrong.
Thus , when I come across a sermon by such a title, as I did in the
Sermons OnLine Library
of
OcalaFirst Church of the Nazarene
in Florida, I pay attention.
Preached on Sunday March 8 by Senior Pastor Barry Dunlap, the sermon uses Hebrews 10 beginning at Verse 19 as its text.
There are 4 key points extensively elaborated on in the presentation which serves as a guideline to knowing that one is saved:
(1) I have a bold confidence to enter into God's presence.
Note the term confidence, not arrogance.
My confidence is in the Blood of Jesus Christ.
(2) I have boldness to confess Christ.
I confess that he is my risen Saviour and Lord.
(3) I genuinely Love God's people and
The love for God's people transcends everything else.
(4) I am homesick for a place I have never ben to namely heaven.
