ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE–THAT YOU ARE SAVED ETERNALLY?

Are you absolutely sure that you are headed to Heaven when you die?

If you believe that you are heaven-bound, have you checked to make sure that your faith is genuine, saving faith? The best way to be sure is to align your belief with God’s Word. Noah’s ark is a beautiful picture of our secure salvation through faith in Jesus.

Absolutely Sure?
Is it presumptuous to think you can know you are saved securely forever? I think not. The reason for such a conviction is rooted solidly in God’s Word. One of the most straightforward places is 1 Peter 3, where we open in God’s Word today.

Peter reminds us that those in Noah’s Ark and everyone else on Earth went through the Flood, which pictured God’s wrath against sin. But only those sheltered in the Ark survived the Flood of God’s wrath.

Peter tells us that (2 Peter 3:9), “God was not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” God’s nature does not change. His will in Peter’s time was the same as in Noah’s. Those who perished in the flood were only those who rejected God’s way of salvation. The only people who will awaken one day in Hell are those who rejected God’s offer of salvation in Christ.

Noah and his family entered the Ark, showing that salvation was only in Christ.

The ark was big enough to hold all who wanted to be saved, but amazingly, only eight people wanted to be saved. Everyone alive in Noah’s day went through the Flood, which pictured God’s wrath against sin. But only those sheltered in the Ark survived God’s wrath.

Peter tells us that God used Noah’s Ark to illustrate salvation, and that picture, tucked away in the Old Testament, loudly declares the security of being in Christ. But salvation only comes to those who are really:

In Christ Alone
Peter introduces us to the Ark of Noah’s Flood as a picture of Christ in I Peter 3:18-22.
