Why do people doubt their salvation?

|
People doubt their salvation because:
- They trust in feelings rather than the word of God. "He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool:. . ." Proverbs 28:26
- They are confused by the simplicity of salvation. "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from THE SIMPLICITY that is in Christ." 2 Corinthians 11:3
- They trust in tradition or church teachings rather than the word of God. "Making the word of God of none effect through your TRADITION,. . ." Mark 7:13
- They trust in their own righteousness. ". . . and all OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSES are as filthy rags;. . ." Isaiah 64:6
- They misapply and misunderstand scriptures. They misapply scriptures such as Matthew 24:13, Hebrews 10:26, when Mt. 25:13 doctrinally applies to the tribulation or the millenium and Heb 10:26 refers to total apostasy and rejection of Christ, not backsliding.
- They have NEVER been saved. "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;. . ." Matthew 7:21

1. Trust in Jesus alone. Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to the cross I cling.
