Have you ever doubted your salvation? The Word of God is the seed that brings about the conviction of our faith, but the devil will cause Christians, especially those new in their faith, to doubt their salvation. Therefore, we need to allow the following Scriptures regarding the assurance of salvation to bear fruit in us.
Romans 10:9-11(NKJV) that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
John 1:12 (NKJV) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
1 John 5:11-12 (NKJV) And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Ephesians 1:13-14 (NKJV) In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory
Romans 4:6 (NKJV) Just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
If the seeds concerning the assurance of salvation are allowed to grow in young believers, they will be stable, strong, and fully convinced that they are saved. When tempted to doubt their salvation, they will say with conviction that because they have prayed to receive Christ, they have the right to become children of God because Scripture says that those who have believed in their hearts and confessed with their mouths that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Saviour shall be saved. They are sealed with the Holy Spirit—the guarantee of their inheritance in Christ—in their hearts that they belong to God. They also have God’s imputed righteousness which grants them the ability to stand right before God just like they had never sinned against Him. They are accepted by God based on who they are in Christ and not anything they have done, because salvation is a gift from God, not by works.
This is the fruit of the Word of God in the lives of believers who have allowed the Word of God to assure them of their salvation when they are in doubt. It has produced thirtieth, sixtieth or a hundredth fold in their lives regarding the assurance of salvation. Similarly, when dealing with other doubts and unbelief in our walks with the Lord and deceptions of the evil one, we need to allow the seeds to grow into a tree, so the evil one cannot steal them.

救恩的确据
你曾怀疑过你的救恩吗？上帝的话语是使我们坚定信心的种子，但魔鬼会使基督徒，尤其是那些初信者，怀疑他们的救恩。因此，我们需要让以下关于得救确据的经文在我们里面结出果子。
罗马书 10:9-11你若口里认耶稣为主，心里信 神叫他从死里复活，就必得救。因为，人心里相信就可以称义，口里承认就可以得救。经上说：“凡信他的人必不至于羞愧。”
约翰福音 1:12凡接待他的，就是信他名的人，他就赐他们权柄作 神的儿女。
约翰一书 5:11-12这见证就是 神赐给我们永生；这永生也是在他儿子里面。人有了 神的儿子就有生命，没有 神的儿子就没有生命。
以弗所书 1:13-14你们既听见真理的道，就是那叫你们得救的福音，也信了基督，既然信他，就受了所应许的圣灵为印记。这圣灵是我们得基业的凭据，直等到 神之民被赎，使他的荣耀得着称赞。
罗马书 4:6正如大卫称那在行为以外蒙 神算为义的人是有福的。
如果让关于得救确据的种子在年轻的信徒中生长，他们就会稳定、坚强，并且完全相信自己已经得救了。当他们受到诱惑怀疑他们的得救时，他们会坚定地说，因为他们已经祈祷接受基督，他们就有权利成为上帝的儿女，因为圣经说那些心里相信并口里承认耶稣基督是 他们的主和救主的，就必得救。 他们在心里受了圣灵的印记—在基督里得基业的凭据—他们属于上帝。 神也算他们为义，使他们有能力站在上帝面前，就像他们从未犯过罪一样。 他们被上帝接纳是基于他们在基督里的身份，而不是他们所做的任何事情，因为救恩是来自上帝的恩赐，而不是靠着行为。
这就是神的话语在信徒生命中结出的果子，当他们有怀疑时，神的话语向他们保证他们的救恩。 救恩的确据会在他们的生命中结出三十倍、六十倍或一百倍的果子。 同样，我们在对付与主同行中的其他疑惑、不信，以及恶者的欺骗时，也需要让种子长成大树，恶者就无法窃取了。
