Yes. I have assurance of salvation.

My assurance is based on God’s promises in Scripture.

This is a tour through the promises of God that give me assurance in the first two chapters of 1John:

If I walk in the light the Blood of Jesus cleanses me from all sin. (1John 1:7)

If I confess my sins God will forgive and cleanse me. (1John 1:9)

If I keep God’s commandments I can be sure I know Him (1John 2:3)

If I walk in the way Christ walked I can be sure I am in him (1John 2:5-6)

If I do the will of the Father I will abide forever (1John 2:17)

If I abide in what I heard from the beginning, then I will abide in the Father and the Son. (1John 2:24)

If I abide in Christ I may have confidence and not shrink at his coming. (1John 2:28)

It seems that the Bible has a lot of conditions for my assurance to come to fruition. Does your assurance have these Biblical conditions, or do you operate in a man-made religion that obscures what the Bible says on this subject?
