Examine Yourself

I have been doing lot of pondering lately...I mean serious soul searching. I've been listening to a few sermons and reading my Bible and this is what I have been contemplating...how are we saved?

I mean, do we really just have to pray a prayer and then it's taken care of? And when we doubt, is all we really have to do for assurance to look at the date that we prayed the prayer in the back of our bible and then tell the devil to get off our back? Or could that be the greatest deception in the history of the church, especially in America?

Could it be that we are supposed to examine the fruits of our lives to see if we have actually been changed? Could it be that we need to test ourselves daily by the scriptures to see if our lives match up? Could it actually be that it doesn't matter one BIT whether we say that we know Jesus, but all that matters is if He knows us? (Matt. 7)

"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3
