Can someone be saved by believing in Jesus but not knowing their own status?
Answered in 1 source
Yes, according to the sermon, salvation depends on believing in Jesus, not on one's own assurance of salvation.
The sermon stresses that true salvation is based on one’s belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, rather than the individual’s subjective feelings about their salvation. This is illustrated by the Roman centurion, who, despite his role in the crucifixion, experienced a genuine conversion through faith in Jesus’s divine identity. The focus is on Jesus’s sufficiency and sovereignty, as found in John 14:6, which states that He is the way to salvation. Hence, even if one struggles with the assurance of their salvation, believing in Jesus as the Son of God is what constitutes true saving faith.
