“I Feel I Am Saved”

   A gospel preacher was talking to a woman who said she knew she was saved.  The preacher said, “How do you know you are saved?”  She made the following reply, “I was attending a religious service one time and all of a sudden I felt light as a feather—I felt I was floating—I felt I was saved.”  The preacher questioned the woman as follows: “Were you light as a feather?”  “Of course not,” she said.  “Were you really floating”? “Certainly not.”  “Were you saved”?  “Oh, yes, I was saved.”  The preacher then asked this significant question, “Lady, if you could not trust your feelings about the first two things, why do you trust your feelings  about the third thing?”  “Even though you felt light as a feather that didn’t make it so.  Even though you felt like you were floating and because you felt like you were saved, that didn’t make it so.”

      God’s word tells us how we may know for sure we are saved.  “Faith comes by hearing the word of God” (Rom. 10:17).  We are to walk by faith.  The following texts will help to answer the question of how I can know I am saved: I John 5:13; John 6:45; Mark 16:16; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 2:38; Hebrews 5:8-9.

   ARE YOU WALKING BY FAITH OR FEELINGS?
