Today in this post, you will discover 7 signs that you are truly saved that will help you know for sure if you are saved and on your way to heaven or not.
The Bible teaches that we can know that we are saved and born again through the fruits we produce when we become genuinely saved from our sins.
With that said, here are the 7 signs that you are truly saved that will help you know beyond any reasonable doubt that you are saved and are on your way to heaven.
7 Vital Signs Indicating You Are Truly Saved.
- No Condemnation In Christ.
- Assurance Of Salvation.
- Answered Prayers.
- You Now live A Holy Life.
- You Bear Good Fruits.
- God’s Word Isn’t Grievous.
- You Have The Joy Of Salvation.
1. No Condemnation In Christ.
One of the earliest signs that will show that you are saved and have real salvation and eternal life is that the condemnation and the guilt of sin will no longer be there.
Since your sins have been washed by the blood of Jesus Christ, you now appear clean and guiltless before God as if you have never sinned before.
We are all guilty before God as sinners and there is that guilt of consciousness we all have as sinners but when we get justified by faith through the blood of Christ, this guilt of sin disappears.
As Paul wonderfully puts it in Romans 8:1 when we become truly saved, we now have no condemnation in Christ as we are now new creatures who no longer walk after our former fleshly lusts but after the Spirit that now leads us to righteousness.
2. Assurance Of Salvation.
The assurance of salvation is simply knowing and being sure of your salvation due to the witness that God’s Spirit bears with all truly born-again Christians on their way to heaven (Romans 8:16.)
And assurance of salvation will be one of the most important signs that you are saved that you will have when you become saved from sin.
If you are not genuinely saved by God’s grace through Jesus Christ, this assurance of salvation will be absent. Instead, you will have doubts concerning your salvation.
Also, that guilt and condemnation that’s present in every sinful natural man will still be there through your conscience.
3. Answered Prayers.
Since you are truly saved through genuine faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, your prayers will now be answered as you know you have true intimacy with God now.
When you are living in sin, that true intimacy with God is severed because sin separates you from God (Isaiah 59:11) that is why God Never hears prayers of unsaved sinners except that of true repentance.
But when you become saved that sin barrier that separates sinful man from a holy God is breached and you now are no longer separate from God which enables you to have true intimacy with him.
Psalms 34:15 wonderfully states that the Lord is attentive to the ears of the righteous and He hears their cries and answers their prayers in due time.
4. You Now Live A Holy Life.
The holiness of life will be another sign that you are saved from your sins and have real salvation. No longer will you live according to your former lusts.
When you become saved, you get a new nature of Christ and it’s this new nature of Christ that will now enable you to live a holy life and shun sin.
Most people say it’s impossible to live a holy life but that’s not true because Titus 2:11 tells us that God’s grace that brings salvation is now available to all men.
It’s this grace all true believers inherit at salvation that empowers them to deny all forms of ungodliness and worldly lusts so that they can live godly and soberly in this present evil world.
5. You Bear Good Fruits.
If you are truly saved, you will bear forth good fruit because all true believers bear good fruits of righteousness as all good trees bring forth good fruits while bad trees bring forth bad fruits by their nature (Matthews 7:17,18).
When you experience genuine salvation by accepting Jesus Christ into your heart, you become a good tree since your old nature of sin that makes you bear bad fruits will be completely replaced with the nature of Christ that will make you bear good fruits.
Remember, you can’t say that you have true salvation in your life and on your way to heaven if you are not bearing good fruits of righteousness in your life.
No wonder John rebuked the Pharisees in Matthews 3:8 that they must bring forth good fruits of repentance if they claim to be children of God or Abraham’s seed and not just claim that they are the seed of Abraham while being full of sin and hypocrisy inside.
6. God’s Word Isn’t Grievous.
Another sign that will show that you are truly saved by God’s grace is the word of God will no longer be offensive or grievous to you anymore (1 John 5:3).
Sadly, many people who claim to be true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ find God’s word offensive to them especially if it’s convicting them of their sinful lifestyle.
If you are such a person, just know that you are not a true believer in Christ because obeying God’s commandments will be one of the signs that will manifest when you become truly saved.
For a truly saved believer, God’s word is never offensive though it can feel uncomfortable to the flesh at times. Rather, the true believer receives God’s word gladly in their heart and is never offended by it.
7. You Have The Joy Of Salvation.
It’s impossible to be truly saved without experiencing the joy of salvation that comes upon every sinner who truly repents and turns away from their sins (Psalms 51:12).
The joy of salvation that brings eternal life to sinful mankind is the greatest joy you can ever have that has no equals.
Dear saint, what’s more, blessed than to know that your sins are forgiven and you are now on your way to heaven by the everlasting mercies of the Lord that saved you from eternal damnation in hellfire with the devil and his angels?
But if you are not saved yet, this joy of salvation in Christ Jesus will nowhere be found in your life. Instead, guilt, sadness, and the condemnation of sin are what you will have.
