Am I truly saved? I think we all occasionally experience that nagging voice whispering “Are you sure you are saved?" You know you "just did this..." or "you've never done that... (and you have to if you want to truly be saved)". Well, at least I have those thoughts sometimes. Its usually when I'm at my weakest for one reason or another. And that's exactly when it can be hardest for me to remember the Scriptures that I know answer those doubts and feelings. A wonderful list of scriptures was posted in the Rapture Ready forum by a member (Tiger Lily). I'm very grateful that she did and I wanted to post them where I could quickly read them whenever I need to. I thought others might find them helpful as well. Thank you Tiger Lily! Bottom lineRom 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. God's salvation promise is for ALL...and WHOEVER/WHOSOEVER from EVERY NATION...believe and receiveJohn 1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 10:34-35 Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.” We are saved by grace through faith, not by worksEph 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God–not by works, so that no one can boast. Gal 2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing! God so loved the world that (and not wanting ANY to perish) He gave His only Son...who willingly laid down His life to save usJohn 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 10:17-18 “The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” John 16:27 . . . the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. 2 Pet 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” If doubt bothers you, remember the miracles and appearances of which the apostles were eyewitnesses, i.e., they KNEW Jesus is the real dealJohn 10:38 “But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” Luke 1:1-4 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. 2 Pet 1:16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. Acts 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. Acts 1:3 After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 1 Cor 15:6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. You can believe His promises—if nothing else, try to just remember that the Lord is not only “the truth,” it is impossible for God to lieHeb 6:16-19 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument. Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, Titus 1:2 A faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time. So that you may KNOW that you have eternal life1 John 5:11-13 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. May the Lord bless you and fill you with peaceRom 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 2 Thes 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. 2 Pet 1:2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. Additional Verses(1) Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Eph 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Gal 2:21 “I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.” Acts 4:12 “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Rom 10:9-10 That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. (2) 2 Pet 1:19-21 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (3) Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (4) Prov 8:10-11 Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Prov 9:9 Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning. Prov 4:7 “Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.” (5) Deut 10:13 . . . observe the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good? Deut 4:9 Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them. Deut 6:6-7 These commandments . . . are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road Prov 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. (6) Ps 119:19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. Phil 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 2 Cor 4:17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
