Subject: How do we know that we are truly saved? |
Bible Note: Thank you for the welcome. I am trying to find my way around the forum. You asked, "by the way, where does scripture teach that only the person knows if they are saved or not?" My boo boo.(sort of). Of course God knows. I don't make myself clear all to often, sorry. An example of what I mean is: I know I am saved and only by the grace of God. It certainly wasn't anything I've ever done or ever hope to do. I know I am saved and God knows I belong to him. Who else knows? Probably other Christians that are around me, if they give it any thought. Ooops! Did I need to back that up with scripture? Sorry. |
