I’m amazed at the number of people I have talked with over the past several decades who have told me, “You cannot know if you are saved and will go to heaven until you die.” I believe the only reason they say that, is because they believe they will make it if their good works outweigh the bad. That is a false belief, and if they truly believe that, they will never make it into heaven. The apostle John writes in 1 John 5:13, “These things I have written unto you who believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” What is eternal life? Jesus explains it in John 17:3, “And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou has sent.” Remember the jailer in Acts 16: asked Paul and Silas, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” Paul told him, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved…” We are saved by grace through faith alone; not by works - you can never earn your salvation, it’s a gift from God to all who will repent and believe in Christ. God bless.
