We've probably all dealt with this question at some point in our Christian lives: "How do I KNOW I am saved?" We want a certificate or a box checked that guarantees we are secure and don't ever have to wonder, but we don't get this in Scripture. We do however, get the Holy Spirit as a down payment of what is to come. We need to know that doubt is okay, as it can help us reconfirm our commitment to the Lord, but we also CAN know for sure that we are saved because we know and trust that God's Word is true and tells us how to trust Jesus, and the result of trusting Jesus is an eternal life with Him!
