Are         You Really Sure Of Your Eternal Salvation?"

     Welcome to         studying the Bible on the internet.  You are to be commended for         your interest in studying God’s word, the Bible.  This course         pertains to a very important subject concerning our Eternal Salvation.          What subject could be more important?  It is my hope that the         scripture references pointed out in this study will be of benefit to         your faith in your striving to go to Heaven.  In this course I have         tried to point to only what the Bible says, and not to what I think.          We must speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is         silent.  We must do things in Bible ways and call things by Bible         names.  Anything that is less than, more than, or different from         what the Bible says is false doctrine.  False doctrine will cause         one to lose his soul in eternity. 

     There is so         much confusion in the world pertaining to religious beliefs which can be         traced to the ignorance of God's word.  There are more than 600         different denominational churches all with different doctrines, beliefs,         and teachings.  Confronted by so many different conflicting         doctrines of religion, people are so confused, they don’t know what to         believe.  Any person who is interested in his soul’s salvation         can not afford to follow any of the many false doctrines that are being         taught, but will have a genuine interest to know the truth which is         found only in the Bible.  Our Lord Jesus Christ, who is our         Saviour, has already made provision for the forgiveness of our sins by         His suffering and death on the cross.  On Judgment Day we will not         have to be lost in the eternal punishment of torment along with Satan,         the Devil.  In order to be saved we must obey the gospel.  But         what is the gospel?  What must we do in order to be saved?  In         this study we will find out what the Bible says we must do so we can         inherit God’s gift of eternal life in Heaven.

     Unless         otherwise noted all scripture quotations are from the New King James         Version of the Bible, Copyright © 1992 by Thomas Nelson Inc.  All         scripture references are in red.  We         need to open our minds and hearts to the scriptures.  In this         course I have tried to point you to what God has said in His word, the         Bible.  As you read the scripture references, think seriously of         what God is actually saying to you.  I have bolded certain         words and phrases for emphasis.

     I have tried         not to be offensive, but I also do not want to be         "wishy-washy" about what God has said and to "sugar         coat" it.  Please do not take anything in the wrong way,         because I mean no harm.  I deeply care.  As God's word says in         1 Peter 3:15 "But sanctify the Lord God in         your hearts: and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks         you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear".          This I have tried to do, because our eternal salvation is a very serious         matter.
