Some of you do not know that you are saved. I will be glad to send you many assurances from God (or you can read them here), but in the meantime here are a few:
Read the five chapters of 1 John several times and see if you fit the description.
Now look at Galatians 5: "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God" (Gal. 5:19-21).
Does this describe you, or does the following describe you?
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires" (Gal. 5:22-24).
If you think that you are in both lists, assume that you are unsaved. If in fact you are really saved, then get out of the first list right now.
