Salvation Is Real
1 John 5:6-13
By: Luther M. Cain
God does not intend for you to be in
doubt about this most essential thing in
life. Salvation is real. You can know it.
God has given us the Bible; he gave us
His Son; He has given us His Holy
Spirit.
He gave us the Bible that we might
know of His activities among the an-
cient people of our world. God spoke
directly ,to man for many centuries. It
was the only way He had to communi-
cate with the people. He gave us the
Bible that we might believe on His
Son. Jesus' coming was foretold cen-
turies before his advent.
He gave us His Son that we might
have "eternal life, and have it more
abundantly." Too often we make the
tragic mistake of underestimating what
has happened. Jesus came to make us
new creatures. "If any man be in Christ,
he is a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things are
become new."
Following the death, resurrection,
and ascesion of Jesus into Heaven to
be forever more seated at the right
hand of God to intercede for us, God
sent the Holy Spirit. "['he transforming
power of the Holy Spirit is real. When
the Holy Spirit is allowed to dwell in
your heart you are a new freature,
having been born again.
This Spirit that bears witness with
you now is the same Spirit that led
Moses, counseled with the Judges and
Prophets, descended upon Jesus as He

was being baptised, and made itself
known at the day of Pentecost. The
deciples were empowered to go out
and turn the world upside down. You
can know you are a child of God when
the Holy Spirit vouches with your spir-
it.
Salvation is something you can
know: you can know it, not just be-
cause you are sure that Jesus died for
you and your sins, and rose from the
grave to justify you. "Blessed assur-
ance, Jesus is mine. O, what a foretaste
of glory divine." When you meet the
conditions of His Word, He always
fulfills His promises. Your assurance
rests upon the faithfulness of God.
If you are a child of God, you are
reconciled. This is your assurance; the
sin or sins which separated you from
God has been nailed to the cross - the
Cross of Jesus Christ. God is your
Father. You are his child by adoption.
God's Word, the Bible, is your author-
ity. the Holy Spirit is your witness to
all of this.
You became a child of GOd, and a
brother to Jesus Christ, and a subject to
the Holy Spirit when you gave your
heart to Jesus. You entered into a new
world and a new experience. You came
to the place where you can shout aloud,
"Jesus is mine. O, what a foretaste of
glory divine."
Take heart, dear Christian, your God
is bigger than any foe you will face.
Take heart, dear sinner, God is equal to
any task; He can save you and make
you whole.
