Some common responses are, “Well, I’m really just not sure.” or “I
think that I’m going to heaven.” or “I sure want to go to heaven.” or
“I don’t think anybody can really know.”

The truth is the Bible has told you that you can know. God wants
you to know, wants you to know as you read this message. He wants
others to know as you come in contact with them. The greatest truth
in all of life is to know where an individual is going to spend eternity.

You see, when life is over, it makes no difference how much you
have gained materially as you aren’t going to take anything with
you. The most important decision in all of life is going to be made
right here and now during this life. And that decision is going to be
what did you do with Jesus Christ?

About 50% of all the decisions made for salvation in Billy Graham
Crusades were made by people who already had their names on
a church membership. They were already members of a church
somewhere. But these people were coming to trust Christ for the
very first time.

They were establishing a personal relationship with Jesus and not
a proper religion. God wants to affirm in your life, and confirm your
testimony as a child of God, that you know, beyond a shadow of a
doubt, you have that personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

The reason why you can know, and the reason why you are saved
in the first place, is because of the grace of God. It’s by His grace
-- the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Who comes into your heart
and into your life -- Who saves you from your sin (nature) and gives
you the personal relationship with Him.

You need to understand that grace which is available to you and to
others. It is because of God’s amazing grace you are able to look
forward to being in heaven with Him someday. How To Know You
Are Saved is the most tremendous truth any individual can ever
acquire in their life.
