This post today will show you 7 signs that you are not truly saved that will clearly show that you are still an unsaved person in urgent need of genuine salvation today.
Many people claim to be saved and go to church on Sunday but how can you tell if someone is saved or unsaved? This is the question this article will address today.
With that said there are the 7 signs that you are not truly saved that will show that genuine salvation is lacking and absent in your life despite what you may claim to say.
7 Signs That You Are Unsaved.
Below are the 7 signs that you are unsaved that will be a wake-up call for you if you are still unsaved but still a Sunday churchgoer who just practices vain religion.
1. You Still Love Sin.
The love of sin will be one of the signs that will clearly show in your life that you are not truly saved through the genuine faith of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In short, even if you claim to be a Christian, you are not because you still love your sin and still hate righteousness by not living by God’s word which brings eternal life.
It’s just a matter of fact that if you lack genuine salvation in your life, you are going to love your sinful lifestyle and go back to it even after repenting just a few minutes ago on the altar call.
You can’t say you are truly saved my lovely dear if you still have the love of sin in your heart. In that case beloved, you are just a mere hypocrite or churchgoer on your way to hellfire as there is no hope for a hypocrite.
This is because if you are saved by the cleansing power of the blood of the Lamb that washes away all sins, the love of sin in your life will be virtually absent and be replaced with the new love for righteousness and holiness (John 1:29).
2. No New Birth Experience.
One of the signs that you are not saved that will manifest if you don’t have genuine salvation is that you will lack a new birth experience that 2 Corinthians 5:17 talks about.
Having a new birth experience in Christ simply means having a new spiritual rebirth that makes you want to follow after righteousness done by the regeneration and the renewal of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5-7).
It’s this new birth found in the life of a truly born-again Christian that makes one follow after righteousness and shun all forms of evil.
With this new birth experience in Christ, all genuinely born-again Christians live new lives that glorify God and not their sinful flesh nor do they walk after their former lusts (Romans 8:1).
But if you are not saved, you won’t have this new birth experience that enables you to follow after righteousness Instead, you will still have that old sinful nature in you that makes you love to sin and see sin as an attractive thing to do.
3. You Have No Eternal Life In You.
It’s just a matter of fact that if you are not saved by believing in Jesus Christ by faith in your heart, you have no eternal life in you but are on your way to hellfire.
Eternal life is among the most important signs that will show if you are truly saved by grace through faith in Christ and are on your way to heaven.
This is because eternal life that will make you spend eternity with God, Jesus Christ, and the redeemed saints of all ages is only made possible through salvation.
But if you are not saved or are a false convert, this eternal life Christ promises to all those who believe in Him with all their hearts in John 3:16 will simply be absent in your life.
Rather, eternal condemnation and damnation in hellfire are what will be on you as a sinner unless you repent of your sinful ways and become a truly born-again believer filled with a new love for God and His righteousness.
4. Lack Of Fruits Of Repentance.
If you are not truly born again with genuine salvation in your life, the fruits of repentance the bible talks about in Matthew 3:8 will simply be nowhere to be seen in your life.
Fruits of repentance are one of the most important signs that will show you are truly saved from your sins and on your way to heaven.
And these fruits of repentance are simply good works or righteousness that someone shows immediately when they become truly saved.
But if you are not a true believer saved by the genuine faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, these fruits of repentance won’t manifest in your life.
And you will be just like the hypocritical Pharisees of the Bible who claimed to be saved and children of Abraham but had no fruits of repentance to justify their claims.
5. No Fruits Of The Spirit.
The Bible in Galatians 5:22 states that when you become a truly born-again believer in Christ, you will show all the 9 fruits of the Spirit that verse talks about.
Fruits of the Spirit are simply fruits the Holy Spirit imparts on anyone who truly repents of their sins and becomes born again that reflect the image of Christ.
It’s these fruits of the Spirit that make any true believer saved by God’s grace walk after the Spirit and not after their former fleshly lusts that constantly war against your soul (1 Peter 2:11).
But if you are not saved, you won’t have these precious 9 fruits of the Spirit. Rather, the works of the flesh Galatians 5:19 talks about are what will characterize your life.
This is because you have not yet experienced new spiritual birth in Christ for you to have this new Christ-like nature that will enable you to manifest the 9 fruits of the Spirit the apostle Paul talks about in Galatians 5:19-21.
6. Carnally Minded.
If you are not saved and a truly born-again Christian, you will be carnally minded and only mind the things of the flesh and not spiritual things that bring life (Romans 8:6).
To be carnally minded simply means to mind only things that pertain to your carnal sinful flesh or to walk after the flesh and not the Spirit.
It also means that you walk after your sinful flesh and its lustful desires such as sexual immorality, covetousness, lasciviousness, etc.
Please, remember that there is no such thing as a carnal Christian as some erroneously believe. You are either a truly born-again Christian or a sinner even if you go to church every Sunday.
If you claim to be genuinely saved, you won’t be carnally minded and walk after your fleshly desires but you will be spiritually minded which will make you walk after the Spirit and think things only about the Spirit.
7. Exhibit The Works Of The Flesh.
The works of the flesh Galatians 5:19-21 talk about will be prominent in your life due to the old sinful nature that’s still present in your life making you do those fleshy things.
By exhibiting the works of the flesh in your life, you show that you don’t yet have the new birth experienced that only comes after genuine salvation that sets one free from the power of sin and its gruesome consequences.
Sadly, most people claim to be Christians but still exhibit the works of the flesh in their lives such as drunkenness, fornication, and many others.
It’s the reason why many young people nowadays are not sexually pure including people who profess to be Christians because they don’t see sex before marriage to be wrong.
But if you are a truly saved Christian, these works of the flesh won’t be in your life because you have a new nature of Christ that makes you follow after righteousness and not your former lusts that have been crucified with your old self on the cross.
Conclusion.
