1 | Are you a follower of Jesus or a church? | Matt 10:32 | michelleH | 108860 | ||
Why you say? Because my parents (which the are followers of Christ too) always told us we do have eternal life if we believe. But believing isn't enough. We have too keep being obedient and do our best not to sin, because one day one may get off the track and pull away from Christ. My mom has done it once, and I have done it once. But we mananged to get back. Some don't. My aunt is a follower as well, but she almost committed suicide, but she is still alive. If she succeeded, then she would not have enternal life. Because she would have committed one the biggest sin of all. If one is the follower of Christ, and for some reason they, got off track and made plans to murder someone out of cold blood, then they would not have eternal life, but yet, they believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. So that is why my parents always said to "hope" have eternal life while we are living, because it will keep us on track to be obedient. Are you see what I am saying? One can believe, but if for some reason the devil got ahold of them while they are at the time of being weak, they would get on ditch of sin and keep digging their hold bigger and bigger until it is too late.

Michelle: Can we encourage you to simply trust in the Lord Jesus Christ? He is able to keep you. I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day (2 Timothy 1:12). He is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy (Jude v.24). |

OH...I TRUST THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. I am saying that everybody tends to fall short and get weak. Sins seperate us from Jesus Christ. Good christians can end up ruin their eternal life by falling into serious sins and not repent for it! As along we repent for our sins we will have that chance of eternal life. But just believing will not give you that. A serial killer can believe in Jesus CHrist, but in order to have internal life, he has to repent for his sins and turn his life around for the good! |

Hi Michelle, I have been out of town for a while and now I am back on my own PC and it is a little easer. In your post you mentioned, “As along we repent for our sins we will have that chance of eternal life. But just believing will not give you that. A serial killer can believe in Jesus Christ, but in order to have internal life, he has to repent for his sins and turn his life around for the good!” What is you connotation of repent, what do you mean when you say repent and what is the have a CHANCE that you speak of? Suppose some one has committed 52,497 sins in their life and they are only 17 years old. Now that person hears the gospel message about Jesus and wants to repent, what do they have to do to be saved or have eternal life? CDBJ |
