Jamie Ivey joins us to talk through a question we've probably all dealt with at some point: "How do I KNOW I am saved?" We want a certificate or a box checked. We need to know that doubt is okay, as it can help us reconfirm our commitment to the Lord, but we also CAN know for sure that we are saved because we know and trust that God's Word is true and tells us how to trust Jesus, and the result of trusting Jesus is an eternal life with Him!
