How To Know You Are Saved (Acts 15:1-35)

About this episode

This episode discusses the requirements for salvation as outlined in Acts 15, emphasizing that salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

What are the requirements for salvation? How do you know you are saved? In Acts 15, we see the answer to these questions. Some in the church were promoting a "Jesus Plus" gospel, but the Jerusalem Council affirms that salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Today, there still is a problem with some adding to the gospel. The requirements for salvation are not "believe and be baptized," "repent and believe" (if by repent, one means to commit to stop sinning rather than change your mind), nor "believe and surrender" (surrendering to the Lordship of Jesus is a discipleship issue not a salvation requirement). We must be clear about how to know you are saved. If you have received Jesus' gift of salvation through faith in His finished work on the cross, you are saved.
