Subject: how do you know if you are saved? |
Bible Note: CDBJ I read your use of faith and trust as being synonymous. I see trust as faith being made alive. Abraham had faith but Abraham had to be tested before that faith was made alive as trust. Genesis 22:12 (NASB) 12 He said, "Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me." In regards to the question “How do I know if I’m saved” I’m trying to emphasis is unless we can trust what we have faith in that faith is empty. The only way I know that, that trust can be realized is by having it imparted in us by the Holy Spirit. Then it becomes I know that I know type of thing. I found your comment about Illustrations and Parables only being able to go so far before they break down interesting. This is usually true of man's illustrations and parables but not of Christ's :-) |
