The Blessed Assurance Of Salvation
Jesse M. Hendley
I John 5:13
The Saviour meets each person in a different way. It is faith in Him that saves.
As I go up and down the land in revival meetings, again and again people come to me with that greatest of all worries, "Am I saved or not?"
Read I John 5:13 carefully, if you have ever doubted your own salvation, or if you are an unsaved soul: "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."
John Writes To Believers
The books of the Bible were written for a purpose. First John was written to tell people how they might know that they are saved. Some people think that if a person does not have full, complete assurance of his salvation, he is lost. That is not true. There are many people who are living under a shadow. There are many people who have very little real happiness and joy, who, nevertheless, are saved souls. John is written to those who believe, that they might know that they have eternal life. They are already saved, but they are not assured of their salvation. These verses tell me plainly that there are people who are saved---people who believe on Jesus and trust Him, and yet they are constantly worrying as to whether or not they are going to be in heaven.
The Basic Assurance
It is believers who are saved---not feelers and not workers. The person who confuses believing with his emotions will always be upset. If you trust your emotions, which come today and are gone tomorrow, you will never have any happiness, peace, or joy. But, if you are trust in your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as the basis of your assurance, then everything is all right with your soul. It is not workers who are saved. It is believers. It is believers on the Lord.
