SEVEN TESTS FOR ASSURANCE OF SALVATION

At Victory Church we use the "CLEAR" curriculum published by Randall House. Our lesson Sunday was on the "Kingdom of God" from Luke 13:22-30.

Here is a quick overview of the lesson:

1. There are Stringent Requirements.
2. There is a Sovereign Ruler.
3. There is a Special Relationship.
4. There will be Surprising Revelations.

In the "application" portion of the lesson there was a list of "Seven Tests for Assurance of Salvation" from the book of First John. Listed below are the seven tests. Go ahead, examine yourself!

1. Desire for holiness (1:6; 2:29; 3:1-9)
2. Repentance over sin (1:8-9)
3. Desire to obey (2:3-6; 5:3, 18)
4. Rejection of the world (2:15-17)
5. Love for God (4:7-12, 19)
6. Love for others (4:19-21; 3:14, 17, 18)
7. Acceptance of Christ (3:23; 5:11-13)

Review the questions on the assurance of salvation and rank yourself on each "test" on a scale of 1-10.
