I was just hit with incredable anxiety. Im not sure Im saved. A few years ago i gave myself to christ and I pray almost everyday I beileve everthing in the bible and God has undoubtably changed me from the sick man I was. If you knew me prior to two years ago and some of you have however I dont do anything for God somethings stopping me I wat to ut laziness and procrastionaion rule my life. I know theres no way for you to know but does it sound like im saved?
Wow! I can't believe I'm not believe I'm not the only one, my mom seems to think I am. I have been their to the point I was panicking myself sick. At times, I still let it get to me, but I find my self reading the Word, praying, and talking to other believers. My problem is I listen to other people, instead of the Word of God.

Sometimes I wonder whether I'm truly saved or not. I think every one wonders that at some point in their lives...

Paul wrote that people work out their salvation by fear and trembling. Doubt will cause this. Most of us, if not all, have had doubt at times. Having confessed and repented of your sins Jesus died on the cross as the penalty and was separated from His heavenly father for 3 days before rising from the dead. Jesus shed His blood for remission of all of our sins, past, present and future. Believing on this and knowing Jesus as your personal savior, and inviting the Holy Spirit into your heart you will be saved. He will not lose a single one that His heavenly father has trusted in His care for their salvation.

Please study the first epistle of John. He has provided several criteria for you to know that you are saved. Indeed the Holy Spirit through John tells us in that epistle that we can KNOW that we have eternal life.

Simply receiving it from Christ. Salvation isn't something that we obtain by our merits or efforts, but it's a gift that we receive daily when we accept what He provide for us (including what isn't pleasure).
