You can confirm your salvation, if you are able to live a good and faithful life in God’s sight and men’s sight. But if you still can not live such life, you are not yet. You still need salvation.
This way you can know if a person
is saved. There may also be expert speaker and teachers but not saved. Such a teacher
or preacher may any time be able to be used by his adversary to mislead others.
Read,
“………..God is light, and in him is
no darkness at all. If we say we have
fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the
truth. But if we walk in the
light, as he is in the light, we have
fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus
his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no
sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in
us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness. If we say we have not
sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in
us.”(1 John 1:5-10)
To be simple : ‘Light’ means ‘Godly,
Holy, Good Nature’. ‘darkness’ means ‘ungodly, sin, wrong, filthy’. ‘Fellowship
with God’ means ‘New Spiritual, saved life, become children of God’.
If you still can not live Godly
life, sin is still controlling your life. If so, call Jesus in prayer. Tell Him
your condition. Ask Him to save you and control and direct your life. Receive
Him as the Lord and Saviour.
This is because, we are all weak.
We can not live Godly life in our strength. When we receive Jesus as Lord and
Saviour, the blood of
Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. Then, God gives us
the Holy Spirit to help us turn away from our old nature and live a new life in
Christ. Still living old nature means
the Holy Spirit not living in us. In such case, you have to call on Jesus Christ.
May God bless you.
