Are You A Christian?
Wait: is not that important?
John 3.
Introduction -
Are you a Christian ?
Are you a Christian ?
Some say yes - But cant definitively say why
Some say I think so
Some say No.
Some say yes and without arrogance or pride explain what God has done for them and why they are a Christian
Last week we went on to prove that the Bible is God’s Word
Today we are going to show how you can know you are a Christian and have assurance of salvation.
Why would anyone go through life knowing for sure if they are saved?
Are you an American - explain
Are you an Engineer
Are you a pastor
Definition - A Christian is someone that has followed the Bible instruction to have their sins forgiven,the Holy Spirit and taken up residence in their lives and they have a changed life to prove it.
They will ultimately reside in heaven after they die a physical death.
I What the Bible Does Not say about Salvation
I am a Christian because I go to church and was baptized.
There is no verse in the Bible OT or NT that requires church attendance or baptism to be saved
I do more good works than bad.
I do my part and God does His part.
John
col 2.20
The Bible never states or remotely suggest that you can receive forgiveness of sins by church attendance, good works or baptism it’s not there!
Churches and affiliated groups that teach this have gone outside the Bible to create this way of salvation.
II What Does the Bibel Say About Salvation
We all Have a Sin Problem
We all Have a sin problem

There is a payment required for our sin.
How can I be saved?
Why do I need to be saved?
We are all infected with sin ().
We are born with sin (), and we all personally choose to sin (; ).
Sin condemns us to an eternal punishment
Sin is what makes us unsaved.
Sin is what separates us from God.
Sin is what has us on the path to eternal destruction and hell.
Because of that, the just penalty for our sin is also eternal and infinite.
What we need to be saved from is eternal destruction (; ).
Because of that, the just penalty for our sin is also eternal and infinite.
What we need to be saved from is eternal destruction (; ).
God has prepared a way for forgiveness
God took on human flesh, lived among us, and taught us.
When the people rejected Him and His message, and sought to kill Him, He willingly sacrificed Himself for us, allowing Himself to be crucified ().
Because Jesus Christ was human, He could die; and because Jesus Christ was God, His death had an eternal and infinite value.
Jesus’ death on the cross was the perfect and complete payment for our sin ().
He took the consequences we deserved.
Jesus’ resurrection from the dead demonstrated that His death was indeed the perfectly sufficient sacrifice for sin.

God has prepared a way for forgiveness
In the OT God would pardon the sins of the people on the day of atonement when the High Priest would go into the holy of holies to sprinkle blood from a sacrifice to atone of forgive sins.
This was a shadow of things to come.
Just Christ came as the perfect sacrifice the God Man to pay the price for our sins.
How can I be saved?
What do I need to do? “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” ().
God has already done all of the work.
luke 23 .43-46
isaiah 45.5
Isaiah
How can I be saved?
What do I need to do? “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” ().
God has already done all of the work.
All you must do is receive, in faith, the salvation God offers ().
Eph 2.
Lets Stop here Salvation is not a formula , reciting verses or following some plan!
Believe
acts
How can I be saved?
Saved from what?
Because of our sin, we all deserve death ().
While the physical consequence of sin is physical death, that is not the only kind of death that results from sin.
All sin is ultimately committed against an eternal and infinite God ().
lev 17.17
It’s a Work of God
That is why salvation rests in God alone by grace through faith ().
It’s is the Holy Spirit who convicts the sinner of sin

Romans 1
Imagine being convicted of a crime you deeply regretted – intentional or unintentional – and being offered a pardon to absolve you of any penalty.
Would you accept it?
Let me tell you about a man who did not.
In 1829 two men, George Wilson and James Porter, robbed a United States mail carrier.
Both were subsequently captured and tried in a court of law.
In May 1830 both men were found guilty of six charges, including robbery of the mail “and putting the life of the driver in jeopardy.”
Both Wilson and Porter received their sentences: Execution by hanging, to be carried out on July 2.
George Wilson committed a crime, was tried and found guilty.
He was sentenced for execution, but a presidential decree granted him a full pardon.
When he chose to refuse that pardon, he chose to die.
