Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank God! I love Jesus with all my heart and soul. He is so kind and good to me. When I confess my sins to Him, He actually washes me clean of the dark spot. I feel free in Him - His being and love.
Being such a sinner, I was beating up on myself one dark night. I could not see how He could love me so I asked Him in prayer,”Do you love me?” Instantly, my mind flashed with many incidents in my life where He had saved me...like He saved me from aggressive cancer, gave me my sons, and much more. It happened in a flash but it ended with me knowing He loves me a lot and is with me always. That was so kind of Him. He is so merciful, holy and powerful.

And a fine good morning (evening) to you!

... I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; ...When a person discovers THIS; then what else is needed?!
They either 'receive' it or not; and then either 'stand' on it or not!

Morning!
The only “rules” are to seek Him and believe.
KJV repeats believe 124 times—it bears repeating.
I know I’m saved and there’s not a thing man or demon can do about it!

Thanks, Elsie. Beautiful Jesus! It’s good to see you!

The only “rules” are to seek Him and believe.Ah, you've entered my wheelhouse now:
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6

It seems to me the next best question to ask and answer is: what does it mean to “serve the Lord?”
To: Elsie
Well, Elsie, do you mind citing the evidence for your confident assertion? Because here's what the original Greek says (Stevens 1550 & Scriveners 1894 Textus Receptus, Byzatine Majority, Alexandrian, Westcott-Hort 1881, Tregelles):
ΧωΡΙϹ ΔΕ ΠΙϹΤΕωϹ ΑΔΥΝΑΤΟΝ ΕΥΑΡΕϹΤΗϹΑΙ
"chOris de pisteOs adunaton euarestEsai"
"Apart from faith it is impossible to please well..."
I see no evidence for "sacraments," even by implication.

To: SaraJohnson
Sara, you've beautifully demonstrated the personal Savior you serve by sharing your personal testimony. It inspires me to do likewise:
HE GAVE
I used to feel unloved, alone
My ache was real, my heart a stone
But God gave me, with all His heart
At Calvary a brand new start
He felt my thirst, He saw my strife
He gave me first eternal life
I had no friend to share that life
He gave me then my precious wife
His love so great, He showed us how
To love our mate, fulfill our vow
Such love above; what could we do?
We learned to love each other, too
Well, I'm no Adam and she's no Eve
We'll never give Him cause to grieve
He'll make us worthy to receive
He gave Himself, He'll never leave
Gift upon gift He heaped and piled
Made our hearts lift: He gave a child!
She'd need, she'd call, for love and care
But, most of all, our fervent prayer
Her new sister cooed and bubbled
With love for her, our prayers doubled
Now as they've grown I've come to see
What God has known my need to be
I have the need to know God's love
I made Him bleed, He rose above
A slave to sin, He bought me back
Now He's within. I have no lack!
Well, I'm not Adam and she's not Eve
We'll never give Him cause to grieve
He'll make us worthy to receive
He gave Himself, He'll never leave
He gave Himself, He'll never leave
He gave and gave, He'll never leave
He gave and gave, would He stop now?
He gave and gave, could He stop now?

I know I’m saved and there’s not a thing man or demon can do about it!Affirmative sir. Isn't it great to have assurance of salvation? It really is that simple isn't it?

To: Hebrews 11:6
Amen!
I’ll add John 3:18 as well.
Man loves to make rules and a very simple process over-complicated, messy, and confusing. And of course, these days, folks are too lazy to bother to pick up an actual Bible and read it for themselves to confirm or counter what they are being told by the various vipers on the pulpits.
To: Mark17
It is wonderful to have that assurance and simplicity!
Like winning a lottery ticket that pays forever!
To: Roman_War_Criminal
Well, let’s give Elsie the opportunity to state her case. Most people aren’t actually on FR 24/7.
