Pretty Sure…or Certain

By Anita Mondragon:
 
Rocket Mortgage has a new commercial out with this quote.  The new commercial states that, “Certain is better!”  The Bible agrees with this idea in regards to your Salvation!  It says, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭5:13‬ ‭NKJV
 
God wants us to be certain of our salvation!  
 
As may of you already know, my dad was a preacher for over forty years.  Every Thursday night, the whole church would go out on Church Visitation.  We’d go door to door and talk to folks about Salvation.  We always asked the question… “Do you KNOW you are saved and on the way to Heaven?”  We got various answers to this question.  Some folks would adamantly say “YES”.  Some would say, “I don’t know…”  Others would reply, “I’m pretty sure I am…I sure hope so!”
 
God wants us to be certain of our salvation in Him, otherwise the devil can have a field day making us doubt that we have indeed been washed in the Blood of the Lamb.   It says in Romans 10:13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  There is CERTAINITY in that verse!  God promised that if we called on Him with a contrite heart, and repented of our sins, and asked Him to save us…He would.  No doubts.  
 
Don’t go through life doubting and wondering if your salvation is secure.  Jesus said in John 10:28-30 :
28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”
 
God said it.  BELIEVE IT AND BE CERTAIN OF YOUR SALVATION!
