Saved by Grace Through Faith

I'm a little confused.

It's obvious.

God is not the author of confusion - 1 Corinthians 14:33

Someone recently asked me how I know that I am saved. My answer:
Well, I heard the Gospel for the first time in 1981. Was surprised that according to John 3:16, that it was so easy to get saved. Per Rev 3:20, I believe that at the time God was knocking on the door of my heart, and I believed and responded to His grace by faith per Ephesians 2:8-9 and confessed my sins per 1 John 4:15 and thanked Jesus for dying for my sins. I believed that I was forgiven and trusted Jesus as my Lord and Savior per Romans 10:9. I know that I cannot loose my salvation because Jesus promised us in John 10:28-29 that no one can snatch them out of His hand. I believe this with my whole heart and soul and endeaver to tell as many people who will listen to do the same per Mark 16:15. I endeaver to live my life in a way that pleases Him. I stumble from time to time, but I confess my sins per 1 John 1:9 and He is faithful and just to forgive my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. PTL!!!!

1st John 5:10 & 13 gets to the core of how WE KNOW WE ARE SAVED.

even more so, 1st John 5:10 & 13 gets to the core of how WE KNOW WE ARE SAVED. add to that, Romans 8:16

Romans 8:15-16

Do you think that maybe it isn't that people turn away from Jesus but maybe they never really went to him in the first place?
