1 | Is verbal confession enough assurance | Rom 10:9 | srbaegon | 215956 | ||
Hello liz, Allow me to add to the responses. Consider Ephesians 2:8-10, and note verse 10 especially: 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Now look at James 1:22-25: 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. Putting these together we see that there is action or conduct that demonstrates that how we live agrees with what we say we believe. There is fruit that is born out of the new life within us (see Galatians 5:22-23). Note that this just scratches the surface of the topic. Steve |

Steve, Well stated brother and you are right about just scratching the surface. I like to start with Peter's message in Act's chapter 2 with attention given to verse 38 and then go from there. In Him, lionheart |
