When You Doubt Your Salvation (5 of 5)
Series: There's No Place like Heaven
Pastor Jeff Schreve
1 John 5:9-13
A Sunday school teacher was talking to her first grade class. She was talking to them about heaven and how to go to heaven. She said, "Class, boys and girls, if I sold my house and sold my cars and had a garage sale and sold all my stuff and gave it to the church and gave it to the poor, would that allow me to go to heaven?"

The final destination for a true believer in Jesus Christ is heaven - that is a certainty. Here is the question: What if you're not sure that you are a true believer in Jesus Christ? What if you're not sure that you are going to get to go to heaven? What if you ar ...
