FAQ about doubting your salvation

Doubts and the things no one wants to talk about.

- Anxiety, depression & suicide
- Sexual intimacy & identity
- Marriage, divorce & adultery
- Addiction & pornography
- Abuse
- Church hurt & failure
- Why is there evil?
We believe that God invites us to wrestle with scripture and to be honest about our doubts. For many, they have been ignored, persecuted, and rejected when they've sought answers to there questions. This isn't right.  We want to create a space where we can face our doubts and questions without fear, and seek honest answers from God.

Am I Really Saved?

"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life." - 1 John 5:13

Use this simple self-check to reflect on your faith. Let Scripture guide your heart - not your feelings.

1. Do I walk in the light - repenting when I sin?

1 John 1:6-7



2. Do I believe Jesus is the Son of God and trust Him alone for salvation?

1 John 4:15, John 14:6



3. Do I love God - not just believe in Him, but actually desire Him?

1 John 2:5, Matthew 22:37



4. Do I love my brothers and sisters in Christ?

1 John 3:14-18



5. Am I convicted of sin and growing in obedience?

1 John 2:3-6



6. Am I being transformed - not perfect, but changed?

2 Corinthians 5:17, 1 John 3:9



How to Respond

Mostly "Yes"? That's fruit of saving faith. Assurance comes from the Holy Spirit and the evidence He produces.

Unsure or "No"? Don't panic - reflect. Pray. Reach out. Jesus invites you to come, trust, and follow Him today.
