| Here is a good note from the well-known My Utmost For His Highest series from the archives of Oswald Chambers, This message discusses salvation and sanctification, but the bigger question is whether or not you know for certain that you have a home reserved for you in Heaven. That is what salvation is all about. You cannot begin to think about sanctification until you have that question settled in your mind. So are you certain that you have a home reserved for you in heaven? Write to me if you are not certain and I will share how you can KNOW without a doubt.

THE TRANSFIGURED LIFE
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old
things are passed away; behold, all things are become
new.
2 Corinthians 5:17
www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=2co+5:17&sr=1
What idea have you of the salvation of your soul? The experience of
salvation means that in your actual life things are really altered,
you no longer look at things as you used to; your desires are new,
old things have lost their power. One of the touchstones of
experience is - Has God altered the thing that matters? If you still
hanker after the old things, it is absurd to talk about being born
from above, you are juggling with yourself. If you are born again,
the Spirit of God makes the alteration manifest in your actual life
and reasoning, and when the crisis comes you are the most amazed
person on earth at the wonderful difference there is in you. There is
no possibility of imagining that you did it. It is this complete and
amazing alteration that is the evidence that you are a saved soul.
What difference has my salvation and sanctification
made? For
instance, can I stand in the light of 1 Corinthians 13, or do I have
to shuffle? The salvation that is worked out in me by the Holy Ghost
emancipates me entirely, and as long as I walk in the light as God is
in the light, He sees nothing to censure because His life is working
out in every particular, not to my consciousness, but deeper than my
consciousness.
