1 | Does Christ come into our hearts? | Rom 10:9 | CDBJ | 210298 | ||
Greetings Meta, I have no doubt that you were saved when you asked Jesus to come into your heart. The not so obvious situation lies in the fact that what you suggested doesn’t describe “how” you were saved but “when” you were saved. The ONLY means of salvation is by grace through faith, Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. Jesus doesn’t come into ones heart just because they quote some magical phrase as it were, but because they believe and trust in who He is and what He has done for them. The truth be known, you were probable saved minutes before you even opened your mouth because mentally you were trusting in Christ and believed in Him or you wouldn’t have been asking Him to do something for you in the first place. I know what the verse in Romans says about with the mouth confession is made etc. but relying on that verse alone would suggest that a mute couldn’t be saved and we both know better. You quoted the following verse. Ephes. 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, The following verse plainly states that Christ dwells in our hearts by asking him in there right? I jest but I think you see the point? 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Dear CDBJ, I believe your post in this topic is a good example of looking at the whole counsel of God and not picking out a verse or two here and there to show a point. Also scroll down to Brother Hank's comments in his post. I think surrender is a good word. Sincerely, Val | ||||||
