from Adrian Rogers' devotional book What Every Christian Ought to Know Day by Day

I have written these things to you . . . so that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13

One basic thing all Christians should know beyond the shadow of any doubt is that they are saved—that all of their sins are forgiven and buried in the grave of God’s forgetfulness, that Jesus Christ has come to live in them, and that they are bound for heaven, either when they die or the Lord returns.

It is much better to be a shouting Christian than a doubting Christian. We ought not to walk around like a question mark with our heads bent over, but like an exclamation point! We should not be saying, “I hope I’m saved,” but “I know I’m saved!”
