Do not depend upon your feelings for the assurance of salvation. Feelings are good, but feelings change. You need Facts, Faith and Feelings. The promise of God's Word, the Bible, not our feelings, is our authority. The Christian lives by faith in the trustworthiness of God and His Word. (John 14:21; I John 5: 9-11; John 5: 24; John 14: 15-21).

NOW THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED CHRIST, THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT INSTANTLY TAKE PLACE THE MOMENT THAT CHRIST IS RECEIVED BY FAITH INTO THE HEART AND LIFE OF AN INDIVIDUAL.

 1. YOU HAVE FORGIVENESS OF ALL SINS. ( Eph. 1: 7; Col. 1: 9-14; Acts 13: 37-39; Rom. 3: 23-26)

2. YOU ARE SAVED FOREVER. (John 3: 15-17; Jn.5: 24; 10: 27-29)

3. YOU HAVE PEACE WITH GOD AND ARE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN JESUS        CHRIST. (Acts 13: 38, 39; Romans 5: 1; Philippians 4: 7)

4. YOU RECEIVE THE SPIRIT AND NATURE OF CHRIST FOREVER, (11 Peter 1: 2-4; Gal. 2: 20; Col. 1: 25- 27; Hebrews 13: 5,6)

5. YOU RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE NOW!! (I John 5: 9-13) Nothing is temporary about our salvation. Live in the reality of this fact!!

6. YOU ARE BAPTISED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. (I Cor. 12: 13). A Divine act performed by God the moment we express faith in His Son for salvation.

7. YOU ARE SEALED IN THE BODY OF CHRIST BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. Sealing suggests safekeeping, ownership, and authentication: God identifies His own by the seal of His Holy Spirit. Rom. 8:9. "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."Eph.1: 13; 4:30; Rom. 8: 9-17; II Cor. 1: 21, 22."Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts."

 8. YOU ARE INDWELT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT FOREVER, AND WILL PRAY AND WILL GRIEVE HIM NOT. Eph. 4: 30. Any disobedience grieves the Holy Spirit. (Deut. 5: 31-33; 31: 29; His way is not difficult, (Is.30: 21; 35:8;) Desire His way, (Psalms 27:11; John 14: 6). Defile not the temple of God (I Cor. 3: 16, 17; 6: 19, 20). Man can't change what God has done: A perfect salvation!!

9. YOU ARE THE POSSESSOR OF AN INTERCESSOR IN HEAVEN. (I John 1: 9; 2: 1-6; Heb. 7: 25). All the help you need is already provided!! Christ.

10. YOU ARE THE POSSESSOR OF AN INTERCESSOR ON EARTH. The indwelling Holy Spirit. (John 16: 7-15; Rom. 8: 26, 27). Assurance in prayer!!

11. YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD: A present fact. (John 1: 12; I Jn.3:2). (Rom. 8:12-19)     (Gal. 4:4-5)

12. YOU ARE A MEMBER OF CHRIST'S BODY. (I Cor. 12: 12-27; Eph. 1: 15-23.) A glorious intimate relationship not to be taken lightly.

13.  YOU ARE A SAINT. (I Cor. 1:2; Rom. 1: 7; Psalms 11: 3). Saints are people who have been separated from the world and consecrated to worship and serve God: incentive to live righteously. Saints are to live holy lives (Ex. 19: 5,6; Lev. 20:7; I Thess. 3: 12,13; 1 Pet.1: 15,16).

14.  YOU ARE A JOINT-HEIR WITH CHRIST. (Rom 8: 16, 17; II Cor. 6: 10 ;) A fellow-sharer of His glory now    

15.  YOU ARE AN AMBASSADOR OF CHRIST. (Matt. 28: 19,20; Acts 1:8; II COR. 5: 20)

16.  YOU ARE A NEW CREATION (CREATURE). (II Cor. 5:17; Eph. 4: 17-32; ).

17.  YOU ARE A MATURED BEING. (Gal. 5: 16-26; Eph. 6: 10-18; Col. 3: 1-17; Rom. 12: 1, 2 ;). Transformed, equipped for every challenge!!!

 THESE PRECIOUS FACTS ARE THE FOUNDATION OF OUR FAITH: STUDY THEM, CHERISH THEM, WALK IN THEM, AND YOUR JOY WILL BE FULL.
