Subject: Aren't the elect commanded to repent? |
Bible Note: CDBJ: Excellent post, my friend. I agree with you completely when you say, " . . . most that claim to be Christians don't fully know what is means to believe in Jesus." I quote here the best, clearest, most concise and accurate answer I've ever heard to the question: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO *BELIEVE* IN JESUS CHRIST? (Note that what I am posting is NOT the entire Plan of Salvation. It is NOT Steps to Salvation or How to Be Saved. I hope no one feels the need to write and tell me that I left out part of the Plan of Salvation. The focus of this quote is limited to the question "WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO *BELIEVE* IN JESUS CHRIST?") "To believe in Jesus Christ is to have a confident conviction that: 1) He is who the Bible says He is. 2) He will do what He promises. 3) Upon placing my trust in Him, I enter into a personal, eternal relationship with the Son of God." (Quoted from a sermon by Charles Stanley, In Touch Ministries) |
