There's a little town on the Texas/Louisiana border named "Uncertain, Texas." How would you like to live in "Uncertain, Texas?" Someone asks where you are from and you say, "I'm from Uncertain."
Christians don't have to live in "Uncertain(-ty)."
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE SAVED?
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR SALVATION IS?

IS YOUR SALVATION BASED ON?
FEELINGS
FALACY

Moody: "I have never known a Christian who was of any use to God who did not have the assurance of their salvation."

Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Save from wrath
And make me pure
