Are you saved? Can you know for sure? Scholars and believers of all stripes have debated this over the years. To be sure of one's salvation, it must be based on something which cannot fail under any circumstances and will always be available. What would that be? Do you have it?
Most of us dream (drool?) about what we would do if we won one of those multi-million dollar lotteries. New house and vehicles? Pay off all debts and loans? World travel?
