How Can I Know That I Am Saved When I Die?

How Can I Know That I Am Saved When I Die?

The Teachings Of Jesus.

After Jesus overcame the temptations of Satan, He started his public ministry in the whole land of Galilee.  He preached and taught the people about the imminent coming of his kingdom.  He healed many diseases, released men and women from the power of Satan, gave hope and meaning of life to many people until his name was heard in many parts of Israel up to Syria.  His main concerned was restore the broken relationship of men from God because of sin that resulted to all kinds of issues and problems of men like sickness, hopelessness, low self-esteem, economic uncertainties, marital misunderstanding that ended to separation, and many other hardships and difficulties in life.  In John 10:10 it says, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill and to destroy.  I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." 

It is not joining to any religion or doing good deeds that will lead men to salvation of soul.  For all good deeds of men are just nothing and can't give eternal life to them "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" as it says in the book of Romans 3:23 and " For the wages of sin is death - both physical and spiritual but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ" Romans 6:23.  Jesus said in John 14:6, JESUS answered Thomas the doubter, "I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes the Father except through me."  If Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, what then men should do to be saved?  "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life."  John 3:16.  You need to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.  You need to ask for Him to forgive your sins and to voluntary surrender your life with all evil deeds to him.  Turn away from all of kinds of sin which was the reason why God sent Jesus, His only Son to die for the forgiveness of your sins and my sins.  That's why when one of the robbers who was hanged also on the cross beside Jesus said a very humbled statement asking for forgiveness,  "Jesus remember me when you are in paradise."  And when Jesus heard that true repentant words He replied, "Today you will be with me in Paradise".  And the thief though in the midst of agony became at peace knowing what Jesus said is true and trustworthy.

If you truly accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, there should be a complete surrender of life and complete turned around of the pattern of your life.  That's why He warned also all people who heard the gospel and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior to prove also in their everyday living the decision they made.  There is a danger now that even in the circle of the believers of Christ, some made an emotional decision just to escape from the punishment of hell and to have success in life materially but do not want to follow Jesus' teaching to love his brother, sister, and neighbor, to live a simple life, to live by faith and not to forget meetings of the believers in prayer and studying the words of God, to witness for Christ and to help the needy.  If you truly a child of God, you know and can do to forgive others and even your own brother or sister.  You will not stock and deposited your anger in your heart until you die.  Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.  Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord,' have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name and done many wonders in Your name?  "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you, depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!" Matthew 7:21-23.  God sees our mind and heart!

Friends, Jesus loves you so much and that's why God has sent Him on earth to die for the forgiveness of our sins.  "But as many as receive Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name".  Jesus is the only way going to heaven and we have to accept Him truly in our life.  Do not be deceived by Satan that once you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you can now go back to the old kinds of life away from Him.  Renounce and declare to the world that you were saved through faith on the saving grace of the Lord Jesus.  Even the apostle Paul says in II Corinthians 5:17, " Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new."  Satan will do everything to snatch us out of this new life in Christ but rest assured that nobody even Satan, our strong enemy can  get us out of the loving and mighty hands of our God.  If God is with us, who can stand against us. and no one can separate us from the love of God, even hardships and tribulations, materialism, sicknesses, and sins.  God has solved all of these through the blood of Jesus, His only begotten Son.
