Does this describe you?
You go to church, and/or you prayed a prayer at some
point in your life. Maybe you were even baptized.
You believe you are "saved" now.

But, are you?
There are a lot of people in the church who don't understand
what the Biblical Gospel is.

There are also people who have heard the Biblical Gospel,
but they haven't truly repented and put their trust in Christ.

If you still live the same way you did before,
but you've just added church to it...
then that's a sign you do not have saving faith.

On the other hand, you may do lots of good works.
You may be doing this to please someone,

salvation.

For by grace you have been saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
for good works, which God prepared beforehand
so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10 NASB
You believe that God is one. You do well;
the demons also believe, and shudder.
But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow,
that faith without works is useless?
James 2:19-20 NASB
The one who says, “I have come to know Him,”
and does not keep His commandments, is a liar,
and the truth is not in him;
but whoever keeps His word,
in him the love of God has truly been perfected.
By this we know that we are in Him:
the one who says he abides in Him ought himself
to walk in the same manner as He walked.
1 John 2:4-6 NASB
