Scary Thoughts

"God, Am I really saved?" This is not simply a scary thought, but a scary reality to many, especially our young people! There are various doctrines floating around contending that cause doubt in the minds of many, especially our youth. Jesus' blood sacrifice, a PERFECT and ETERNAL sacrifice, indeed removes sin from the believer's heart. (1 Peter 1:18) No "prayer" saves anyone, but the confessed FAITH in Christ. (Galatians 3:26) Hopefully these verses give us all assurance:

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.(Ephesians 2:4-10)

Looking into Jesus . . . THE Author AND Finisher of my faith and yours? Thank GOD I AM saved!!!! There is no need to fear . . .
