Preacher's Corner

Matthew Allen

How can we know we are saved? God's word teaches us that we can gain confidence in both objective and subjective manners. First, we can trust in the promises of scripture. In 2 Corinthians 1.20 Paul wrote: For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes. Both aspects of our assurance are seen in Romans 15.4. Here we read, whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance (subjective) and the encouragement of the Scriptures (objective) we might have hope. In Romans 8.16, we read: The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,

Are you sure of your salvation? Ask an objective question: Have I obeyed the gospel? Mark 16.16, Acts 2.38, 22.16; Romans 6.1-7 If you have obeyed the gospel - you are God’s son/daughter. You have an inheritance that has been reserved in heaven for you, 1 Peter 1.3-5. Then ask a subjective question: Is my faith real/active? 2 Corinthians 13.5: Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves!

When we know the answer to both of these questions, we can live with a greater confidence in obtaining our eternal reward.
