⭐⭐ please keep in mind like the Bible says we are saved by grace through faith alone not by any works Romans 10:9 and 10 says if we confess our sins to Christ believe he died and rose again on the third day we will be saved ‼️
If you doubt your salvation, it does not mean you are not saved. It means that you do not sufficiently understand and believe what the Lord Jesus Christ has accomplished on the cross to ensure your salvation. When you trust in what Christ has done and not your own faithfulness, then you will stop doubting. In other words, if your salvation depends upon your faithfulness and your goodness, then you should doubt.
Jesus fulfilled the law perfectly by never sinning (1 Pet. 2:22). He bore our sins in his body on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24). Jesus did everything that is necessary for us to be saved. We receive this salvation by faith in Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9). You must realize that your salvation does not depend upon your faithfulness. Instead, it depends on God’s faithfulness. The Bible says that when we are faithless, He remains faithful (2 Tim. 2:13). He has promised to give us eternal life (John 3:16; 10:27-28), and God cannot break his promises.
Luke 11:10-13, “For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it shall be opened. 11 “Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? 12 “Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he? 13 “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”
In the land where Jesus lived and taught there was a fish that resembled a snake. There was a scorpion that, when curled up, took the shape of an egg. Jesus is telling us that God will not fake us out when we ask him for salvation. He does not play tricks on us. He does not deceive us. He is faithful and true. And even though we may doubt his word, God is still true. Even though we may wonder if we are saved when we look into our own hearts and see the failures, the sins we cannot master, the selfishness that seems to so easily raise its ugly head, we must realize that God saved us because of how good he is. He has always known what we were, what we are, and what we will be. And in spite of this, he chose to love us to save us.
Therefore, to trust God means to trust his love, and perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18).
2 Cor. 13:5 says to test yourselves.
“Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?” (2 Cor. 13:5).
Notice what Paul says in the above verse. He tells the Corinthians to test themselves–to examine themselves. This would not be necessary if it were a sin to doubt. After all, why would we test ourselves to see if we were in the faith if we don’t have any doubt? Also, notice that Paul is saying that Jesus was in them. In other words, they were definitely Christians. So, Paul is telling them to examine themselves to make sure they’re in the faith, but that they needed to realize that Christ was indeed in them. It is only those who are in the faith, who are saved, who could really examine themselves to see if they are in. After all, the unsaved do not examine themselves to see if they are Christians

No
Many Christians doubt at one time are another.
In My opinion
Salvation is not Based on your feelings but on Faith in Jesus Christ alone and what he did on the Cross. He suffered, bleed and died , then rose again on the third day.

Amen to all you have said, homelesschristian and Moonlight7. We are saved by the grace of Jesus Christ not our works. We are not saved by good works but for good works as it says in Eph 2:8-10 and Titus 2:11-15 and 3:1-8 in Scripture.

Doubting salvation happens to lots of people.
Some people doubt their salvation because they get discouraged. It seems no matter how hard they try to stop sinning they just can’t overcome, so they doubt their salvation.
Some hear about other people overcoming sin but it doesn’t happen for them so they get discouraged and doubt their salvation.
Then they read passages in the Bible about victory over sin and they get discouraged because they don’t have “victory”.
Here’s something that will help these discouraged Christians understand sanctification, read ROMANS 7 ‼️‼️
If your desire to please and obey God seems weak but keeps growing then rest assured in Gods promises and keep persevering‼️

BUT BUT BUT‼️‼️‼️
👉SOME👈 people, (but not all), who do not doubt their salvation, SHOULD doubt their salvation‼️‼️
Please note: Ultimately, if it’s our DEEPEST desire to LOVE GOD and to OBEY HIM, then our doubts become weak because we keep placing our confidence on HIS power to keep us safe.
BUT some people, calling themselves Christians, just go on sinning without a care in the world‼️‼️
They’re not bothered about sin because they’ve leaned to shut off their convicting conscience‼️‼️
BUT 👉they THINK👈 they don’t sin‼️‼️ They even THINK they love God‼️‼️They even THINK they’re saved‼️‼️ They THINK they’re headed to heaven‼️‼️ Some THINK grace covers their carefree sinning (hyper-grace)‼️‼️‼️
Since they DO NOT consider the knowledge of God (the Bible) worthwhile or worth their time to study, they don’t know what sin is‼️‼️‼️
THESE PEOPLE👉SHOULD👈DOUBT THEIR “SALVATION”‼️‼️ Because they DON’T have it‼️‼️
Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
