In this episode of our "Good Question" series, we continue exploring the question: What does it mean to become a Christian, and how can we know for sure if we are one?

Key points:

• It is possible to have assurance of your salvation and know that you have crossed from unbelief to faith in Christ
• This assurance is primarily based on the promises found in the Bible, not on our feelings or experiences
• John 1:12 says that those who receive Jesus and believe in His name are given the right to become children of God through spiritual adoption
• Using the analogy of marriage, the pastor notes that being unsure or ambivalent about one's status as a Christian is problematic
• The first way we can know we are Christians is by looking to the Bible's promises and statements
• Revelation 3:20 depicts Jesus knocking at the door of our hearts and promising to enter into a deep relationship with us if we open the door
• John 10:28 assures us that when Jesus gives eternal life, no one can snatch us out of His hand - our security rests on His power, not our own
• The key question is whether you have personally crossed the line from unbelief to faith and embraced Jesus as Savior

Join us next time as we further unpack what it means to have saving faith and be assured of our relationship with God in our "Good Question" series.
