Not sure saved + sovereignty/freewill

Q: Not sure I am saved.
Also, since Faith and Repentance are both given sovereignly by God, how can a person also be responsible?


A: here is some helps

1. Humans are responsible for their sin, and God commands all of us to repent and believe the gospel. Each human is responsible if they disobey God's command. God's sovereignty does not eliminate human responsibility. 


Go thru the short gospel video, then read the info on the page. If you understand your need for Jesus, and believe what this info presented... repent of sin & trust in Jesus (who He is, what He did for you); gratefully receive that (undeserved unearned) gift from God. If you do that you are trusting God, trusting Jesus has paid your penalty, and trusting that God has saved you. 


Ask yourself, do you understand what it cost Christ to redeem sinners? And are you grateful for the price He paid? Do you now "hate sin, and love righteousness"? Have you turned your back on your firmer sinful ways and are now "walk daily" living "as God's Word says to"? Do you desire that relationship with God, desiring to read the Bible like a hungry person who devours the things of God? 

If yes, thats good. 

Jesus told us if we repent and believe the Gospel, we are born again. God has converted us. Rejoice & live out what say you believed. 

So then, as you are living the Christian life, read your Bible daily (without fail, make it a habit; Bible is God communicating with you, prayer is you communicating with him), and obey what you read. 

But faith, belief in Jesus is what saves you. Your belief and trust in Jesus. These other things are simply part of "growing in faith & knowledge of Christ" as you live out that new life in Jesus; empowered by the now indwelling Holy Spirit. 

So....Continue to walk as a believer all your life, trusting only in Jesus for your salvation. Persevere "in belief" to the end of your life. 😊
