HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM SAVED?

The Word of God says there is only one way we are saved from a life of sin 

It is to put all your faith in the Gospel of Christ

The Gospel that saves is declared by the Apostle Paul 

1 Corinthians 15: 1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

What happens after trusting in Christ’s death, burial and resurrection for the redemption of your sins? 

You become a new creature sanctified in Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

As a Christain your salvation is secured as a member of the Body of Christ and sealed with the in-dwelling Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 1:13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Once saved you are baptized into one body. The holy Spirit places us into Christ and this baptism identifies us with the body of Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptised into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

This is not water baptism.

A Christian is a saved sinner made righteous in Christ, through absolute faith in the resurrection. Christ did it all for us.

Putting your faith in anything else is distrusting Christ's redeeming work on the cross, as being insufficient payment to save you from your sins.
