Questions and Answers: Am I Saved? |
A site visitor askes a sincere question. "Am I Saved?" As a teenager, he had gotten into sin with drugs and girls. God obviously called him and he thought about God and talked to God, but drugs and other sin continued to plague his life. He knew that God is to be feared as a severe judge when we do evil. So his real question is, "Am I saved?" Read his question below, and understand the answer to the question: Am I Saved?" Question:"One night at work I broke down in the bathroom and started talking to God. I said that I thought I believed in Jesus... I guess I didn't, but I want to. I said how deeply sorry I was. I was crying. I didn't expect anything to happen but when I left the restroom I felt this chill go down the back of my spine, something I never felt before, not like a drug. It was amazing, then I witnessed God's grace through my co-workers who had done all my work for me so there was no stress. From that point on I've been lost spiritually. I thought I accepted Jesus that night, although my life after that has been the best Christian life. I'm 25 now. I don't have much experience with God anymore, although this year I was baptized. I don't know whether I'm saved or not or did I somehow do something so that I can't be saved. I'm so confused. Did i reject God unknowingly but why would he then reveal Himself to me. Do I have a any hope as a backslidden supposed Christian? I believe in Jesus. I just hope there is hope. I never knew about serving God till now, and I never understood His glory till now. I hope I was saved that night. That's my only hope. What do you think? Am I unredeemable or have I been redeemed?" Answer:You do really have hope in Jesus. Don't fear. How many Christians ask the same question: "Am I saved?" You are on the right track but you are trying in your own strength rather than resting in the strength of Jesus. No one can walk in righteousness in human strength. You have been born again. If you were to die tomorrow, you would go to heaven. God wants to help you to grow in righteousness and holiness now that you are part of the family. Just keep walking. Be patient with God's process. Follow His process instead of your own process or some religious process. I have added some links. Study them and the links that you will find on these links. Spend some time to learn about God's process. No one should go through the pain of not knowing whether they are born again. Born Again:It does not take much to be born again, but when you are born again you are just a baby in Christ. To be born again you must believe in Jesus for deliverance from your sins. When you accept Jesus, you must accept Him as your Prophet, Priest, & King--all three. If you don't want Jesus to rule over you and be your King, then you have not accepted Him. If you don't want Him to lead you constantly, then you have not accepted Him. No one can fool God. No one can say that they want to be born again when they really want to remain the slave of Satan and slave of their own fleshly human nature. To be born again is to begin to be set free from slavery to Satan and to begin to be set free from slavery to your own fleshly human nature. Salvation & Redemption:Being born again is the start of salvation but being born again is not the same as salvation. There are 27 references like the following that refer to salvation or being saved as something in the future. Romans 5:9-10 "Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life." This Bible verse says that we were reconciled, that is, born again, and we shall be saved--they are two separate things. At the same time, there are 5 verses that refer to having been saved or being saved in the present tensed. It appears that salvation is a process that started when we were born again, continues in the present, and will be completed in the future.
