Am I Saved? Seven Tests to Know!
“Am I saved?” is one of the most important questions we can ask. Jesus said many people are deceived about the answer: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord,… Continue Reading…
