Bible Note: EdB: I agree with what you write: "Yes were are saved by grace by believing in Jesus but that saving grace causes a change within us. If that change is not evident in our lives then we have to reevaluate were we in fact believing or ‘pistueo’ believing." You are so right. Our salvation is not proven by a past moment in time. The Word (especially the book of 1 John) tells us what the evidences of genuine saving faith are. If these evidences are not present in the life of a professing believer, then something is wrong. AMPLIFIED 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you--unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected? You see, brother, I've always believed that, while you and I are not in 100 percent agreement about everything (but who is?), we still agree with each other more often than not. Grace to you, kalos |
