Am I Saved?

I know Christians who are worried about their salvation. I’m NOT one of them. Discussions about the merits of infant vs. adult baptism, sprinkling water vs. full body immersion, whether you said the ‘salvation prayer’, faith vs. works, etc. are irrelevant, in my opinion.

It’s like a married person wondering if their wedding ceremony was legitimate. Whether you said the traditional vows, or made them up yourself, whether you wore white or black, whether the ceremony was in a church or outside, whether you choose to wear rings or not—none of this is crucial to being married. The only thing that matters is whether you are fully committed to your spouse right now.

I rarely discuss my first encounter with Christ, because I don’t remember when it was! I’m pretty sure He was with me before I noticed Him. I try to focus on our mutual love. Every day is an opportunity to express my commitment and devotion.

“May God, our very own God, continue to be with us just as he was with our ancestors—may he never give up and walk out on us. May he keep us centered and devoted to him, following the life path he has cleared, watching the signposts, walking at the pace and rhythms he laid down for our ancestors.” (1 Kings 8:56-58 MSG)
