Can We Know with Certainty We are Saved from Eternal Separation from God?

The words, “we know” are found 52 times in 48 verses in 33 chapters in 17 books of the King James Version of the Bible. Did you know out of the 66 Books of the Bible, that phrase is found in the first epistle of John in regards to the doctrine of salvation more than any other of book in the rest of the Bible? John the Apostle tells we can absolutely know we are saved and have a relationship with the Father though the Lord Jesus Christ!

1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

One reason I am posting this is because I was raised a Roman Catholic and was told that only saints go straight to Heaven when they die, and I knew for sure I am not a saint. I may not be a saint the way the Catholic Church defines that word, but I am a saint in the biblical sense because I am a member of the Body of Christ through my faith in the Word of God.
