Ever have doubts about your salvation? Are you really saved? I think we’ve all gone through that at one time or another. But God gives us assurances. The Bible, particularly, tells us how we can know, without a doubt, that we are His children.

Have faith
We all have faith in something. What or whom do you have faith in? What is faith? In our last discussion we talked about hope, and hope is closely related to faith. Without faith there is no hope.

I think this list answers all three questions. There may be more, but I think I got the meat of it. Comments are welcome if I missed any. I mentioned that I would go into more detail. Today I will cover the first one.
- First, you must be born again. Believe in Jesus Christ and through that you will become a new creation.
