“How to be Saved and Sure” 09-11-22 Sun Morn

Canon Baptist Church “How to be Saved and Sure” 2 Timothy 1:12 As Christians, we do not have to hope we are saved. We do not have to live with uncertainty or doubts about our salvation. The Bible tells us that we can know that we are saved. Let’s look at the personal testimony of Paul, and let me set before you three great truths that form the basis of having a know-so salvation. 1. You must understand the source of salvation. • Consider the words “I have believed.” A. There must be an act of trusting in Christ. B. There must be the fact of trusting Christ. 2. You must experience the certainty of salvation. • Notice the words, “I know.” A. The causes of doubt considered. B. The cure for doubt explained. 3. You can experience the security of salvation. • Paul testified, “I … am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.” A. Notice the preservation we have in Christ. B. Notice the reservation we have from Christ.
