In this powerful sermon from Unity Missionary Baptist Church, Pastor Martin delivers a compelling message on how to be sure of one's salvation, drawing primarily from Acts 10 and the conversion of Cornelius. He emphasizes that salvation is not based on feelings, rituals, or emotions, but on three irrefutable witnesses: the personal testimony of believers, the prophetic witness of Scripture, and the inward and outward work of the Holy Spirit. Using Peter’s sermon to Cornelius as a model, the pastor illustrates how faith comes through hearing the Word, and how assurance comes from knowing that God’s promises are trustworthy. He passionately argues that believers can have confidence in their salvation because it is grounded in divine truth, not human experience. The sermon culminates in a heartfelt invitation for those uncertain of their salvation to come forward and receive Christ, affirming that God’s grace is sufficient and His Word is reliable.
You can know you're saved because God says so in His Word—1 John 5:13 promises that those who believe in Jesus have eternal life.
Salvation is confirmed by three witnesses: the personal testimony of believers, the prophetic witness of Scripture, and the work of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit’s presence is evidenced by conviction, guidance, and a changed heart—those who are saved will desire to worship, be baptized, and grow in community.
Don’t base your salvation on emotions or experiences—your assurance comes from trusting God’s promises, not your feelings.
If you’ve heard the gospel, believed in Jesus, and repented, you are saved and will never lose it—Jesus said, 'They shall never perish.'
The Pinnacle of Salvation: Cornelius and Peter
“And while Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.”
How to Be Sure You're Saved
“If you've been saved and you know you're saved, you don't have to worry about the Lord leaving you and forsaking you.”
The Three Witnesses of Salvation
“There's three witnesses. I want you to see this. There's three witnesses that you can call to the stand and verify and validate the salvation experience.”
The Personal Witness of the Saints
Peter’s firsthand experience with Jesus—seeing His life, death, and resurrection—forms the foundation of his testimony. The pastor emphasizes that real faith is built on eyewitness accounts, not hearsay.
The Prophetic Witness of Scripture
Martin shows how every Old Testament prophet pointed to Jesus. He traces messianic foreshadowing in sacrifices, the tabernacle, Psalms, and the prophets, proving that salvation has always been through faith in Christ.
“If you've been saved and you know you're saved, you don't have to worry about the Lord leaving you and forsaking you.”
“There's three witnesses. I want you to see this. There's three witnesses that you can call to the stand and verify and validate the salvation experience.”
“I'm hell proof. By the grace of God, I'm hell proof.”
