The Assurance of Salvation

How can we have the assurance of salvation?  Many people think that they can get it through good works, religion, attending to church and other reasons.

What does the bible really says about it?

The bible says in 1 John 5:11-13 (KJV)

"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."Who is it that has the Son? It is those who have believed in Him (John 1:12). If you have Jesus, you have life. Not temporary life, but eternal.

The Lord Jesus Christ also assures salvation for those who are believes in Him. It says in John 10:28-29 (kjv)" And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."

We can have the assurance of salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. Just admit your sins, repent, ask forgiveness and have faith in Him. Our assurance of salvation is based on what He does on the cross. He offer His own life for us,  shed His blood, suffered and died. But after three days and three nights He rose again. And that is what we called GOSPEL.
