Be Saved and Sure

As a Christian, there may be times when you doubt your salvation. Such doubts are most often because we focus upon ourselves and not on Christ. Trusting in ourselves leaves room for all manner of doubt. Be saved and sure is focusing upon Christ alone. It's knowing who saved you. 

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31). Be saved and sure focused upon what Christ has done for you at the cross and through his resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). You are saved by what Christ is doing in you and through you (Colossians 1:27; Hebrews 13:20-21). In Christ alone you are saved. Be saved and sure, believing and trusting in Christ (Ephesians 1:13-14).

Focused on Christ alone is the way to be saved and sure. Then, you can say, "I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep what I have committed to him until that Day" (2 Timothy 1:12). Be saved and sure by faith in Christ alone. He alone has the authority and power to save you and keep you. 

Be saved and sure focused upon Christ alone. Focus on his work for you and in you. The grace of Christ initiates your salvation. What he begins, Christ is more than able to finish. "Being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good work in you will complete it unto the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6).
