ARE YOU TRULY SAVED??

posted by John3:3

First of all we must ask ourselves,do we know within ourselves about true repentance?Do you realise that standing in front of God without the blood of Jesus as your umbrella so to speak,you look like a filthy disgusting greasy garment?And do you also know that the Lord cannot look upon sin?When you confessed your sins before the Lord when you were asking him for Salvation,did u look at yourself through the eyes of God?Let’s put it this way,if you had a beautiful white gown and someone dragged it through grease and mud and then wanted you to wear it to show the world this was your’s,would you want to wear this disgusting thing?The answer of course would be no.We must truly repent,that means knowing your sins you have committed,and really really being so very sorry for all of them equally.For not one sin is worse than the other,they are all equally bad in God’s eyes.To commit one sin that we have not asked forgiveness for,is to be condemned.When asking Jesus Christ into your heart and to cleanse you of your sin did you mumble an apology? Or did you ask him for every sin you could name that you have committed,to be forgiven?Now some of u probably are saying sister are you nut’s? There is no way I remember even half my sin’s! Well it took me almost three weeks personally to ask forgiveness for every sin I could remember committing.My initial Prayer was looking at the sin’s I did remember committing and crying my heart out for those very sin’s,and asking his forgiveness.By doing my very best to put myself in God’s place looking at me, this sin filled greasy filthy rag that I was,and once I realised just how disgusting I looked in the eyes of Our Precious, Perfect ,and Glorious Father,I suddenly saw how worthy I was of hell.The blinder’s came off and I now saw the world through the eyes of my Father and my Savior.I called the holy spirit into my own soul and asked to be freed from the bondage I did not know I had been in.I turned the tv on a few hours later, and suddenly saw through my new spiritual eyes, the sin that permeates that evil tool.Every commercial,every show, even Disney shows,are laden with sin.I realised that now I truly had accepted this beautiful free gift.I was truly freed from the bondage of sin.

Have you brother,and sister truly repented?Have you been given new eyes? Have you been given new ears?Do you study your bible as often as is possible to learn everything you can about your precious Father/Savior/Holy Spirit?
“Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, IF so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, NOT TO THE FLESH, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, THEY are the sons of God.” (Rom 8:7-14)

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, ALL things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” (II Cor 5:17-20)
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall NOT inherit the kingdom of God? Be NOT deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor coveteous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” (I Cor 6:9-11)

Now, we know that sins of the flesh separates us from the Father and prevents us from truly receiving the gift of reconciliation if indeed we are unrepented, but there are also sins of the heart that are equally as dangerous if not more so, and this to must be addressed. I plead with any professing believer reading this message today that if you have unforgiveness in your heart this day towards ANYONE, to repent quickly and forgive them of their wrong towards you for if you choose NOT to, you will not spend eternity with The Father. Here’s why, The Word of God declares: “And when ye stand praying, FORGIVE, if ye have ought against ANY: that your Father also which is in heaven may FORGIVE YOU your trespasses. But if ye do NOT forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive YOU your trespasses.” (Mark 11:25-26) and again “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive NOT men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive YOUR trespasses.” (Matt 6:14-15) and yet again “Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: FORGIVE, and ye shall be forgiven.” (Luke 6:37)The most compelling reason God want’s us to forgive is not for the person we are forgiving, but to free ourselves of the very hatred and vengeance seeking thoughts that unforgiveness brings us to.“So LIKEWISE shall my heavenly Father do ALSO UNTO YOU, if ye FROM YOUR HEARTS forgive NOT EVERYONE his brother their trespasses.” (Matt 18:35) His commandment is to FORGIVE if we desire forgiveness from Him. Remember the words of our Lord: “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. MANY will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU, DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.” (Matt 7:21-23)
Now, we know that salvation cannot be earned but is a gift received by Faith through REPENTANCE of sins, confession and belief on the Lord Jesus. We know that there is no other way to be reconciled to The Father except by going through The Son. We know that Yeshua took the weight of our sins to the cross, thus when we come to him in total repentance, His blood cleanses us from all our sin and reconciles us back to our Father who forgives us because of the sacrifice of His Son. Thus when he sees us, he no longer sees the sin that ONCE HAD us bound while we were servants to our flesh and the world, but He sees the righteousness of His Son!

There is no such thing as walking in the world and in the Lord.You cannot have a tiny piece of you still in the world.for we are not of the world once we have called the spirit to dwell in us.
We must be a workman who rightly divides the Word and is not at any time ashamed of speaking it’s truth, whether or not it may offend anyone.
“The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him shall be ashamed.Rom.10:11.
Another way to know you are truly saved is You will not be able to live with the feeling of disappointing Him. You will want to share your knowledge/Love of him with everyone around you.
Friends,have you ever (after being born again) hidden anything like your bible or pictures of the Lord or anything of the Lord from some friends or family that have come to visit?If you have then I suggest to you reexamine your salvation.
I leave you with some very important scriptures.
John 17:11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. You see he wants us truly for his names sake to be one with him and with one another.This verse makes it no secret that God chose us first, He gave us to His Son Christ. And it’s something else to realize that once God calls us to salvation, we are never lost. He has His hand on us through every hardship and dispairing pain we will ever go through.
John17:13And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.When we accept him rightly ,fully,with all our heart’s and complete true repentance, He fills us with JOY.Joy the likes of which you never knew was possible.
John17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.Praise his Holy Name!!!The world hates us.SO WHAT??? I would rather know I have eternity with my Lord. John17:22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:Are you one with the Lord? If you are not sure then I pray brother’s and sister’s for you that you might find true salvation.When Christ sets up residency inside of you, you will no longer be able to live in this world as you once did. He will call you to study and fellowship on a deeper level. This will bring about your obedience to please Him and not yourself. People may even notice that you are not yourself anymore. This will be great cause for rejoicing!
Never ever be ashamed of Jesus so that he will not be ashamed to present you to his father.“Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” [Mar 8:38]
There is really nothing to look forward to on this earth.As the days,months ,and years progress,things will get worse and worse and worse.Do not pin your hopes on this world and it cleaning itself up.The scriptures tell us things will progressively worsen.He want’s us to know him fully and completely.He wants us to find perfect approval in his father’s eyes.The only way to find perfect approval is to truly hand him the reins,humble yourself,knowing you are nothing with out Jesus Christs blood covering your sins.
Lastly ask yourself,have you changed? Does everyone who knows you say wow you have seriously changed?If no one can tell that you have changed, then reexamine your salvation.
Remember God does not read inaccurately your heart.He knows your heart better than you yourself do.Keep the Lord in your heart always putting him first,and you cannot go wrong.
I hope to have helped you to know if you are truly saved.
Love in Christ,Tammy
