For Christians - re Assurance of Salvation?
How sure are you with your salvation? If God ask you why you should I enter heaven, what will your response be?

There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test him and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"
He said in reply, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself."
He replied to him, "You have answered correctly; do this and you will live."
If God were to ask me why I think I sohould enter heaven, i would say "I know that I have not loved you nor my fellow man as best as I could, but please have mercy on me."

I believe that Jesus is Your Son and that He died for me.
I repented of my past sins and turned my life around to follow Jesus.
I often confess that Jesus is the Christ, Your own Son.
I was baptized, calling on the name of the Lord, to enter into the kingdom where all spiritual blessings are found.
I studied and prayed as I continued in life. I lived according to the instructions left for me and when I failed, I cried to You to forgive my sins, knowing You are faithful and just. I could not make it alone, but I had Your help to reassure me.
Therefore, to answer the first question, I am saved as long as I do not fall away. According to Galatians 5: I can fall if I turn from the Way.

I feel the assurance of salvation because of my Faith and trust in God, Christ, Mary, and the angels and saints... Of course, that does not mean I should stop trying to be a good person. We should never stop trying to lead good lives, despite the promise of salvation. I don't doubt salvation in itself either, because God is Divine - loving us more than most of us may ever fully realize until death and reaching our heavenly home.

I am sure of my salvation. I have asked Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Savior and my name is written in The Lamb's Book of Life.
I have already answered that question by giving my life over to Jesus.

That is not our concern. We follow God in our lives the best we can and leave the rest to him. If God asks me that I will say that my assurance is in him and Jesus not in my own merits for salvation.
