Pretty,

I suggest you really learn and understand the GRACE of the Lord Jesus. Christianity is so not about do's and don't's ...it is about what has been DONE through Jesus Christ and being transformed to His image.

Other than the Bible, I would suggest reading, or listening to Pastor Joseph Prince. He points you to the Lord Jesus and his wonderful Grace, he makes it easy to understand. That is what I would have LOVE to have been told when I was saved.

I quite agree. And get connected with other believers who understand this.

How do you know that it's for real ? What evidence do you have that you're not just deluding yourself ?

Many people claim to be true born again Christians. In fact millions believe they're saved. But the Bible warns that many will be deceived. So again, what makes you sure ?

Of course you owe me nothing, not even an explanation. But really, I am trying to be helpful and give a real answer to your question.

What verse are you quoting...that many will be decieved about their salvation? There is a verse in Mathew that I will paraphrase.. The Lord says many will come to him in that day ( the day of Judgement) and say Lord, Lord haven't we done wonderful works in your name and the Lord says...depart from me you workers of inquity..I NEVER knew you.

He says to them..".I NEVER knew you"...not" I knew you once but I kicked you out because you left me..or you did this or that wrong". Notice that these people don't know the Lord Jesus..they doing good works in his name but do NOT have a relationship....

I will be more than happy to answer your question...

I know I am saved because the bible says clearly:

If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead...THOU SHALT BE SAVED. Romans 10:9

I have confessed and I do believe and therefore I am saved!

Ephesians 1:13 says I was sealed with the Holy spirit when I believed the gospel check it out...In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,


Hebrews 13: 5 says that the Lord himself has promised this to us......I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

That is how I KNOW I am real and....just for grins...Romans 8:16 says:

For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children.


I'm not working for my salvation, I'm not striving for it...I believe. GRACE! Understanding his wonderful Grace. That is the best advice I could ever give a new believer....
