“Are you saved?” - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Acts 16:31

When some Christians are asked the direct question, "Are you saved?" they unfortunately often hear the answer that nobody can really know; it will be revealed when God judges mankind.
Many pardoned sinners, on the other hand, who have truly been converted to God, give their testimony of His grace and testify that they are absolutely assured of their salvation through Christ. Then there are religious persons, who seek their salvation in their piety; they consider such an assertion presumptuous and a sign of spiritual pride.
No-one should be influenced by such objections, we must hear what the Word of God says. When the Philippian jailer asked in his anxiety, "What must I do to be saved?" he received the reply: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved."
Then again, we read in the Holy Scripture: "To him (i.e. the Lord Jesus Christ) all the prophets witness that through his name, whoever believes in him will receive remission of sins" (Acts 10:43).
What does the Lord Himself say? "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes in him who sent me, has everlasting life and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life" (John 5:24).
It is certainly not presumption when someone who sincerely believes in the Son of God says humbly but with assurance: "I know that my redeemer lives" (Job 19:25). He is rightly convinced that he has been saved through God's grace, because "the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin" (1 John 1:7).
