hey guys the other day I got this question from somebody Daniel how do you know for sure that you are safe that you will go to heaven that you have eternal life and I got this question if it's them from other people as well so I thought I have to make a video about this and ask you do you have doubts sometimes about your salvation if you do then you need to know the answer to this question because it is probably one of no not one of it is the most important question that you can
ask yourself in this temporary world now many people out there give different answers but it doesn't matter what I say what Christians say what Christian leaders say or even the church what matters is what God says about it in his word so that's what we're gonna look at in this video let's get to it [Music] not just very quick if your first time here on my channel I'm Daniel Moritz and welcome to D LM Christian lifestyle consider subscribing and also clicking that notification about so you won't miss any of the next videos now is it
possible to know that you are saved or should you just try to do your best and one day you'll see well the Bible is very clear on this it says in 1 John 5 verse 13 these things I have written to you who believe in the name of the son of God that you may know that you have eternal life so it's very clear it doesn't say we hope that we are saved or wonder it says that you can know that you are safe so we can't know for a fact that we are saved if
we believe in Jesus Christ now how do you know what is the requirement you just do a quick prayer and then you get your ticket into heaven and then you go back to your old sinful lifestyle and you just continue to live as you did before well no definitely not what does it mean to truly believe in God there's a huge difference between believing in God in Jesus and everything the Bible says about him and to believe that he exists because you know that demons also believe that Jesus exists but that doesn't make them Christian
many people today I don't know what biblical faith is anymore the Bible says what does it profit my brethren if someone says he has faith but does not have works can faith saving if a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food and one of you says to them depart in peace be warmed and filled but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body what is it profit thus also faith by itself if it does not have works is dead so listen very carefully faith without works is dead
it means you don't have really have faith yes you are saved only through grace Ephesians 2 verse 89 says for by grace you have been through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God not of works lest anyone should boast but the Bible clearly says that true faith will always have good works as well why because the moment when you truly believe in Jesus Christ through faith you are made a new creation you are spiritually reborn and God gives you the Holy Spirit to come and live inside of you and that
is what Jesus is talking about John 3 now most of you know the famous verse John 3 verse 16 that says for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life but do you know what he's written before and after this you know most Christians like to quote certain verses that fits in with their lifestyle which is a huge problem because you need to change your lifestyle according to the word not vice versa now the Bible was never written in chapters
or verses so if you want to fully understand John 3:16 you need to read the whole chapter in its context and this chapter in the context of John and John in the context of the New Testament and in a context with the whole Bible John 3 this chapter talks about being reborn jesus says in verse 3 most assuredly I say to you unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God Nicodemus said to him how can a man be born when he is old can he enter a second time into his mother's
womb and be born jesus answered most assuredly I say to you unless one is born of water and spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God and that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit so just in the beginning of the chapter Jesus says three times that you should be born again and then if we go and we continue in verse 18 he talks about faith and works not just faith but and works listen to this he who believes in Him is not condemned but
he who does not believe is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God and this is the condemnation that the light has come into the world and Men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil for everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light lest his deeds should be exposed now listen to this but he who does the truth comes to the light that his deeds may be clearly seen that they have been done in God so it's very clear
the truth faith can always be seen through your actions through the fruit that you deliver so how do you know for certain that you are saved if you have been spiritually reborn when does this happen it happens the moment you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you ask him to forgive your sins you trust in him for who he is that is the moment when God justifies you the Bible says that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead
you will be saved it says if you do this you will be saved is God's promise it doesn't say maybe probably or you have to be a good person and let's see what with your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds it says you will be safe so you can trust God's promise why the Bible says for with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation for the scripture says whoever believes on him will not be put to shame for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek for whoever
calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved so if you really did this and you meant it with a sincere heart remember when you pray God looks at your heart with your intentions and what you're really thinking you can't hide anything from him but if it really meant it then you are saved not because you go to church not because you grew up in a Christian home not because you're a preacher not because of anything that you can do you are only safe because of the grace of Jesus Christ because he went and
he died on a cross for your sins he took the punishment that you should have got he took it on him and he died we cannot save ourselves we are not good none of us are not me and not you sometimes people think oh I am good I'm not as bad as that guy or this guy and that's the problem because we compare ourselves to other people but if you compare yourself to God to God's standard God is holy he is perfect Isaiah 64 verse success but we are all like an unclean thing and all
our righteousness are like filthy rags Oh filthy rags so those deeds that you think are good are like filthy rags in front of God you see I'm not better than you I still fall short of the glory of God and I sin I fall so we cannot save ourselves only God can and that's why he is the only one that can justify us the moment when we believe in him Romans 3 verse 21 says but now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed being witnessed by the law and the prophets even the
righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all who believe for there is no difference for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God now listen to these amazing words being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus whom God set forth as a propitiation by his blood through faith to demonstrate his righteousness because in his for Berens God had passed over the sins that were previously committed to demonstrate at the present time his righteousness that he might be just and the justifier of
the one who has faith in Jesus how amazing is that if you truly believe in Jesus Christ then you are saved and as a young Christian you might get doubts sometimes and even attacks from the devil make you feel bad worthless but don't trust your feelings trust God's Word Ephesians 1 verse 13 says in him you also trusted after you heard the word of truth the gospel of your salvation in whom also having believed you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise who is the guarantee of our inheritance now isn't this amazing the moment
you believe in when God justifies you you are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise that promises you salvation and when those moments come when you feel worthless when you don't feel good enough fight back by saying well yes it is true I am NOT good enough but that is why I am so grateful that Jesus Christ died for me and that I'm safe only on what he did and not on what I did that is the gospel now remember justification is just the start of your relationship with God you have a whole new journey
in front of you of sanctification and learning who you really are your identity in Christ and if you want to grow more spiritually then check out this video and I'll see you there but remember God loves you and I love you too bye let it be consecrated Lord to thee
