Many Christians could add the prefix “doubting” to their names, like “Doubting Thomas,” for they are plagued with doubts about their eternal salvation. Instead of being shouting Christians, they are doubting Christians, and Satan has silenced their witness for Christ. Someone said, if you could have salvation and not know it, you could lose your salvation and not miss it. Beloved, I assure you of this: If you have salvation, you know it, and if you have salvation and know it, you can never lose it. So, if you are saved and you know it, say “Amen!” We will explain this further in our Sunday, July 23 sermon, “Certain and Sure: The Theological Basis for Our Eternal Assurance.”

The fact that most believers experience doubts about their eternal salvation is not all bad.
Those who presume they are saved because they have no doubts about their eternal security may end up very sad.
So, someone might ask if a believer can have the unquestionable assurance of their salvation, and the answer is YES!
The common reasons many believers have doubts about their eternal salvation:
The initial message of the gospel is one of judgment.
The second message of the gospel is one of salvation.
