Why Do We Believe What We Believe? We need to have Scripture to back up what we believe. (1 Peter 3:15)


1) I’m Saved – Sealed – Delivered I’m My Lord’s:

Saved Forever, Sealed With An Eternal Seal, And Delivered To Life Eternal With Jesus In Heaven!!

A) How I Knew I Was Lost And Heading To Hell.

The Fall Of Man – (Genesis 3:1-19)

(Romans 5:12)  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:                                                                                          
(Romans 3:23)  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;                                             
(Romans 6:23)  For the wages of sin is death;

Some Key Bible Words:

All: (N.W.) Every one; wholly; completely; entirely; the whole number.

Sinner: (N.W.) One that has voluntarily violated the divine law; a moral agent who has voluntarily disobeyed any divine precept, or neglected any known duty.

Wages: Reward; fruit; recompense; that which is given or received in return.

Death: (Strong’s Concordance) that separation (whether natural or violent) of the soul and the body by which the life on earth is ended. And in this verse and the end of life begins misery in hell eternal.

 

Doing Evil Was Easy, but doing good was impossible.

(Jeremiah 4:22)  For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.         
(Romans 3:12)  They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Key Bible Word:

Sottish: Dull; stupid; senseless; doltish; very foolish.

 

 

B) How I Was Saved From Hell:

The Holy Spirit Convicted Me Of Sin Through God’s Word.

(John 16:7-11)  Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Some Key Bible Words:

Comforter: The title of the Holy Spirit.

Reprove: To convict; to convince of a fault, or to make it manifest; to excite a sense of guilt. (I had to see myself as lost and guilty before I could get saved)

I Was Saved By Accepting The Sacrifice Of My Jesus On The Cross.

(Colossians 2:13-14)  And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

(John 3:16)  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.                                                                                            
(John 3:18)  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

(Romans 10:9-10)  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Some key Bible Words:

Whosoever: Any one; any person whatever.

Believeth: to have full persuasion, to be certain of.

Condemned: pronounced to be wrong, guilty, or sentenced to punishment.

Saved: Preserved from evil; injury or destruction; kept frugally; prevented; spared.

 

 

Proof I’m Saved - I’m A New Creature.

(2 Corinthians 5:17)  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

My Want To’s Have Changed:

I want to read the Bible – I want to go to Church – I want to get closer to God – I want to do Good – I want to be a good Father – I want to tell other’s about Jesus.

The things I use to do – don’t do them anymore. The things I use to say – don’t say them anymore. The songs I use to sing – don’t sing them anymore.

Key Bible Words:

New: Recently produced by change; as a new life.

Old: Long practiced; as the old life.

**So You Want More Proof I’m Saved? I Was Dead – Now I Live.**

(Ephesians 2:1-5)  And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Key Bible Word:

Quickened: Made alive; revived.

Dead: Not alive.
