How Can I Know That I Am Really Saved?Steve Gregg
In his lectures, Steve Gregg explores the question of how to know if one is truly saved. He takes inspiration from the book of 1 John, which is often used to explore this topic. Gregg highlights that simply saying a sinner's prayer is not enough and that there are four tests one can use to determine if they are really saved: having a personal connection and fellowship with God, possessing the Holy Spirit, loving others, and obeying commandments. These tests go beyond surface-level beliefs and require evidence of one's salvation through one's actions and relationship with God.
