This is a very important question. I would say this is the most important question you could ever ask yourself. Most people who would profess to be christians would say because they believe, or that they asked Jesus to come into their heart. Do you have to have some kind of feeling to know your saved? Is salvation based on some sort of emotion? Did you know that you can find nowhere in scripture where it tells you to accept Jesus into your heart? Scripture says in 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourself as to wheter you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Are you trusting in a prayer you said or something you did, or are you trusting in Christ's finished work on the cross? Scirpture says in 1John 5:13 that you may know that you have eternal life. Do you have assurance? Do you know your saved? Please watch this video clip, Paul Washer will ask you to examine yourself.

So Be it Lord
Jeremiah 11:1-6
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 3 and say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD God of Israel: “Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant 4 which I commanded your fathers in the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and do according to all that I command you; so shall you be My people, and I will be your God,’ 5 that I may establish the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them ‘a land flowing with milk and honey,’ as it is this day.”And I answered and said, “So be it, LORD.” 6 Then the LORD said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: ‘Hear the words of this covenant and do them.
The question is will be like Jeremiah? The Lord has told us to go to all the world and to proclaim the gospel to every creature. We need ask the Lord for boldness to be like Jeremiah to go into the cities and the streets to reach people. There are so many people in the world who will never walk into a church. That is why the Lord told us to go, He didn't tell us to stay and to wait for them to come. Do what ever you can. Pass out tracts, talk to people, or open air preach. Whatever you do make sure your doing something for the Kingdom of God. Be like Jeremiah and answer His call with "So be it Lord."
