Ask God If You Were Ever Born Again

John 6:35-40
"35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. 37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, tha...t of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."

Many people "say" they believe and are Christian, but their heart which leads to actions and attitudes is evidence against them.

Matthew 15:8 "'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.:

Matthew 7:21-23
"21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

It is not enough to "say" we believe in Christ, if we are honest and sincere in our heart about following Him, then our outer actions and attitudes will be evidence of that.

So many think they are going to heaven but in fact will be hearing those terrible words, "I NEVER KNEW YOU."

Perhaps those who have doubts, still walking pridefully, should ask the Lord if they are born again, then do what is necessary to be cleansed, which is to confess your sinfulness, asking for Christ to change you into a new creation.

2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
