It distinguishes doubt from unbelief, explaining that doubts can signal something wrong rather than spiritual death.

But having doubts doesn’t necessarily mean we are not saved.  \nAdrian Rogers says,“Doubt is to your spirit what pain is to your body; it doesn't mean you're dead, it means something's wrong.”  \n1 John 5 reveals how to be saved and know it, without hesitation.  \n“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that 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”(1 John 5:11-13) .  \nWhen doubts arise, we must remember, first, how we are saved: by grace, through faith (see Ephesians 2:8) .  \nAdrian Rogers says,“Grace is the unmerited favor and love that God shows to us. It's what made God love us when we were unlovely. God doesn't love us because we're valuable… we're valuable because He loves us.”  \nFaith is not intellectual belief; it is trust and commitment to God. Think of grace as the hand of God reaching down to us, and faith is our hand reaching up to Him.  \nUnderstanding this, we can find our assurance through three basic tests:  \n• Lordship Test  \nIs Jesus Christ the Lord of my life?  \nIf we claim to love God, we will keep His commandments.  \n• Fellowship Test  \nDo I love my brothers and sisters in Christ? Am I in fellowship with other believers? Fellowship is the nature of both the Christian and the Church.  \n• Relationship Test  \nDo I have a vital relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ?  \nThe assurance of our salvation is on-going; it is not a past event, stamped by a time and date and place. It is a present decision to trust in Jesus, right now. We can trust in Him, for He alone is the assurance of our salvation.  \nLife Application  \nDo you have doubts about your faith? Consider the lordship, fellowship, and relationship tests. If you don’t know whether your doubt is the Holy Spirit’s conviction, or the devil’s tactic, believe in Jesus.  \nSERMON OUTLINE  \nHow to Be Saved and Know It  \nSERMON REFERENCE: 1 John 5:11-13  \nLW F SERMON NUMBER: \\#1726  \n1) INTRODUCTION  \na) 1 John 5:11-13  \ni) Not wonder, not hope, not guess, but we can know that we have eternal life.  \n(1) We ought to be shouting Christians, not doubting Christians.  \n(2) We ought not to have a hope-so salvation but a know-so salvation.  \nii) These verses also tell us that it is possible to doubt.  \n(1) If we couldn’t doubt, then why would John have written this?  \n(2) John is writing so that those who might doubt ","cbCaidaoeYLwCOyZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidaoeYLwCOyZ","pdf",445253,18,"English","# Sermon Overview\n## Sermon Reference and Sermon Number\n## Key Theme: Knowing Salvation\n\n# Sermon Outline\n## Introduction (1 John 5:11-13)\n## How We Are Saved (1 John 5:1)","[{\"question\":\"What is the main message of “How to Be Saved and Know It”?\",\"answer\":\"The message teaches believers can know they have eternal life, grounded in God’s record in 1 John 5:11-13.\"},{\"question\":\"Does having doubts mean a person is not saved?\",\"answer\":\"No. Doubt may mean something is wrong, and the sermon explains that it does not necessarily indicate death or lack of salvation.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the sermon say believers gain assurance of salvation?\",\"answer\":\"It provides three tests—lordship, fellowship, and relationship with Jesus—and frames assurance as an ongoing decision to trust Him now.\"}]","How to Be Saved and Know It - Sermon Overview, Outline, and Transcript | PDF",1789735139,45]
