Saved Without A Doubt Quotes

“Are you very much aware of the spiritual battle raging within you? Do you realize that to have true relationship with God, you have to live a holy life—that you can’t walk in darkness and claim to have fellowship with Him? Are you willing to confess and forsake any sin in your life as you become aware of it? Do you realize you can choose not to sin—that you’re not fighting a battle you’re obliged to lose? But when you do fail, do you go to your divine Advocate?”
― John MacArthur, Saved Without A Doubt: Being Sure of Your Salvation

“If the preservation of salvation depends on what believers themselves do or do not do, their salvation is only as secure as their faithfulness, which provides no security at all.”

“If a dying Savior could bring us to God’s grace, surely a living Savior can keep us in His grace.”
― John F. MacArthur Jr., Saved Without A Doubt: Being Sure of Your Salvation

“Have you experienced communion with God and Christ? Have you sensed His presence? Do you have a love for Him that draws you to His presence?

Have you experienced the refreshing, almost overwhelming sense of grace that comes upon you when you discover a new truth in His Word?”
― John MacArthur, Saved Without A Doubt: Being Sure of Your Salvation

― John F. MacArthur Jr., Saved Without A Doubt: Being Sure of Your Salvation

“The apostle John gave all the tests that he did in order to give the true believer a biblical basis for confidence. Let’s review his spiritual inventory: Do you enjoy fellowship with God and Christ? Are you sensitive to sin in your life? Do you obey the Scriptures? Do you reject this evil world? Do you love Christ and eagerly await His return? Do you see a decreasing pattern of sin in your life? Do you love other Christians? Do you receive answers to your prayers? Do you experience the ministry of the Holy Spirit? Can you discern between spiritual truth and error? Have you suffered on account of your faith in Christ?”

“For believers to doubt their security is to question God’s integrity and power. It is to add the merit of human works to the gracious, unmerited work of God. And it is to add self-trust to trust in our Lord, because if salvation can be lost by anything that we can or cannot do, our ultimate trust must obviously be in ourselves rather than in God.”
― John F. MacArthur Jr., Saved Without A Doubt: Being Sure of Your Salvation

“If saving faith is present, it can’t help but produce fruit. Good works don’t save a person, but they do show that his or her faith is genuine.”
― John F. MacArthur Jr., Saved Without A Doubt: Being Sure of Your Salvation

“being assured of our salvation is no arrogant stoutness. It is faith. It is not presumption. Rather it is confidence in God’s promise.”
― John F. MacArthur Jr., Saved Without A Doubt: Being Sure of Your Salvation

“All whom God sovereignly chooses will come to Christ. However, what the Bible teaches regarding divine election should not restrain anyone from coming to Christ, for our Lord went on to say in that verse, “The one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.”
― John F. MacArthur Jr., Saved Without A Doubt: Being Sure of Your Salvation

“If anyone is ever to be kept out of heaven for my sins, it will have to be Jesus, for He took them all upon Himself and made Himself responsible for them. But He is in heaven already, never to be turned out, so now I know that I am secure.”
― John F. MacArthur Jr., Saved Without A Doubt: Being Sure of Your Salvation

“The more believers pursue holiness out of hope for the final outcome, the more they will be persecuted and troubled and the greater will be their hope as they see themselves sustained through it all by God’s powerful grace.”
― John F. MacArthur Jr., Saved Without A Doubt: Being Sure of Your Salvation

“You once lived in sin and loved it. Do you now desire deliverance from it? You were once self-confident and trusting in your own fancied goodness. Do you now judge yourself as a sinner before God? You once sought to hide from God and rebelled against His authority. Do you now look up to Him, desiring to know Him, and to yield yourself to Him? If you can honestly say “Yes” to these questions, you have repented.… And remember, it is not the amount of repentance that counts: it is the fact that you turn from self to God that puts you in the place where His grace avails through Jesus Christ.”
― John MacArthur, Saved Without A Doubt: Being Sure of Your Salvation

“How can you tell whether the Holy Spirit has performed a saving operation? As the principle evidence of life is motion, Edwards wrote, so the principle evidence of saving grace is holy living.2”
― John MacArthur, Saved Without A Doubt: Being Sure of Your Salvation
