Bible Question: When are we 'securely' saved? Dear friends on both sides, indeed, this question is a bit too 'theological' or 'religious' for this simple soul. As I interpret the Bible, we, as beings bound by time and flesh, cannot KNOW 'securely saved.' We can only discuss eternity in theory. However, we CAN hope and believe in salvation in Christ Jesus today, here. In the Holy Spirit, I can 'know' I am saved by grace, but the 'Final' outcome is in His hands. With this I am at peace, absolutely sure that God is just. My point is that doctrinal or theological 'rightness' does not excuse us from misleading God's people into spiritual arrogance or casual 'feelings' faith. A good balance of study and experience seem to be in order. Finally, to address the above answer, I find it 'a bit of a stretch' to say that the 'knowledge of God' and 'way of righteousness' do not speak 'necessarily' of salvation. Blessing and peace in Jesus' name. |
Bible Answer: "When are we securely saved?" Given that one doesn't believe in the security of the believer, the answer would have to be: One could never have security of an insecure salvation. . . . Take away Eternal Security and all you have left would be ETERNAL INSECURITY. |
