I mean i hear people talk of being a Christian and being saved, but can you be really sure that you truly are saved?

Saved from ourselves and Saved from full destruction.
We will certain realise that God has indeed forgiven us and is working towards helping us to change to become a new creation babe reborn in spirit through Christ..who will lead you the way of his Righteousness.
You will surely begin to feel changing occuring within your daily life ,the more God works in spirit over you by the helpful work of the Holy Spirit.
Once You continue to listen follow and obey him alone you will certainly not fall away.
Just remain in his righteousness Love and forgive everyone humbly and remain one with him and he within you and You will do well to remain safe within the Kingdom which must come out from within us being called out from this dark world unto the Kingdom of righteousness,light,love and eternal Life.

Hope this helps:)
Blessings

First it starts through Holy Spirit drawing the individual. Next the sinners prayer recognizing individual is a sinner in need of a Savior inviting Him into his/her heart, turning away from unrighteousness this is the initial process.

Obediently yielding his/her members to the Holy Spirit control and walking daily in the Spirit of the Lord.

Like a flower we grow in stages.

Agree with Bella as well.

I agree with Candle and Bella on this.

To become very SURE of the safety of your soul is when you CONTINUE to walk and live in the Spirit till the END of our life here on earth.
Because we depend how the Spirit works in our lives and we dont know when HE will finish it, but we do know that we must walk and live in Spirit and Faith TILL the END.

Till the END of what?? Till Holy Spirit will finish His works in a soul.

Jesus said that those whom will persevere till the END SHALL be SAVED.

Mt 10,22
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth(persevere) to the END SHALL be saved.
Mt 24,13
But he that shall endure unto the END, the same SHALL be SAVED.
Mk 13,13
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall ENDURE(persevere) unto the END, the same SHALL BE SAVED.


If we continue(persever)walking and living in the Faith and Spirit than we CANNOT be condemned.
FAITH In JESUS is a dayly walking and living in the Spirit. This is not something we must take lightly.
Jesus said to be VIGILANT because we are in war with the powers of EVIL and also we must BATTLE SIN every day.

Our dayly walking and living will determine wether we are in the flesh or in the Spirit.

i believe if your conscience tells you you are not then you are not

I was thinking about it today and it occurred to me that there are so many people in the world who are convinced that they are saved but they do not " continue" to walk in the Spirit. I have come to a point where when people say "dont judge me cause the Lord knows what is in my heart" but i say to them i can tell by your works what is in your heart. A good tree will never bear bad fruits and if you are bearing bad fruits there is but one explanation---you are not saved---no matter how many reasons the person finds to justify their way of life. If a person is not bearing the fruit of the Spirit he cannot truthfully say that he is saved.

Take this scripture for example, what it says about one that should be renewed in the Spirit...

Ezekiel 36:24-28 (King James Version)


24For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

28And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

One of the most striking thing about this scripture is how it explains the working of the Holy Spirit in a converted soul. The Bible says that "And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them" Jesus says that if we continue in his words then we are truly his disciples and Paul says that there is therefore no condemnation to them who are IN Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. All these verses tell me one thing clearly..that someone who is saved cannot continue in sin. It tells me that God is so watchful over those who belong to Him that he will not allow them to be plucked out of his hands and that is why he will cause them to walk in his statutes

Amen for it it truth!!He will keep us by the help and work of his Holy Spirit to prepare us and keep us always in the right way of his RIGHTEOUSNESS.Even if we feel we want to go back in the ways of this dark world,the Holy Spirit through Christ within us will continue to pull and lift us out always so we remain always on the right track..otherwise we would fall away.
Thank God for his HELP always in times of trouble
Thank him always for even being there in the times of Good.
Our heavenly father will indeed set his Mark and his seal upon us in our minds and set his laws and commands within our hearts the place where true love is stored so we never forget them but always walk in them.
He will keep Lifting us up forever more in spirit.
God bless you

2 Pet 1,4
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having ESCAPED the CORRUPTION that is in the world through LUST.

Why do we feel SAVED in our spirit?? FAITH in the Blood of Jesus for the Remission of SIN and walking in the Spirit.

How and WHY ARE we SAVED? By Trusting in the Works of the Spirit to liberate us from the powers of SIN and Satan.

How do we CONTINUE to be SAVED?
By NOT OBEYING(doing) the lust of the sinfulnature and by walking and living in the Spirit by FAITH, through Grace. AND by having FAITH till the END that GOD will create IN us(our soul) His Holy(devine) NATURE.(2 Pet 1,4)

Eph 6
10 FINALLY, my brethren, BE STRONG in the Lord, and in the power of HIS MIGHT.
11 PUT ON the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
13 Wherefore take unto you the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be ABLE to withstand in the EVIL DAY, and having done all, to STAND.

How are we to battle Sin and Satan?? NOT by our OWN POWER or MIGHT, but by the MIGHT and POWER of the Spirit of GOD.
By being clothed with the weaponry of GOD.
Without the weaponry of GOD we will loose the battle.

You must be clothed with the following weaponry of GOD:
TRUTH of the Spirit
RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus
GOSPEL of PEACE
FAITH
SALVATION Through Jesus
WORD OF GOD
PRAYING in the Spirit
WATCHING and TAKING CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER

Eph 6
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with Truth, and having on the breastplate of Righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of Faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of Salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and Watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

You can know you are saved through repenting, believing,and confessing your sins.

Repent... Mark 1:15. "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." Acts 2:38, "Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’ " Acts 3:19, "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord."

Believe... Acts 16:31, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."

Confess. 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Romans 10:9, "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 is God who gives us the faith to believe. Christ came to save all who will accept his offer, bless you all ladies
