“HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU’RE SAVED?”Basic Beliefs, part 5A sermon outline based on Matthew 7:15-23Hillcrest CRC, August 6, 2023, 5pmRev. Curt Walters Seven characteristics of those who are saved:1. We believe in Jesus.       (Acts 16:31, John 6:28-29; 5:24, 3:36, James 2:19)2. We know the Lord.       (Matthew 7:23, John 17:3, Jeremiah 31:34, Genesis 4:1)3. We publicly acknowledge Jesus as their Savior and Lord.      (Matthew 10:32-33, Romans 10:9-10)4. We call on the name of the Lord. (Acts 2:21, Romans 10:13)5.  We have the Son. (1 John 5:12-13, John 15:5-6)6. We have the Holy Spirit. (Romans 8:9)7. We bear fruit. (John 15:4-8, Matthew 7:20-21, 24-27)  Next steps...Pray for yourself and for your family members and friends, that God will save all of you. Invite God to convict any who do not have “true faith.” Read and reflect on Jesus’ words in Matthew 25:31-46 about the difference between the sheep and the goats.Commit yourself to seeking and doing God’s will rather than just your own. And ask God to give you great joy in doing it!
