Bible Question: What do you say to a person who says, "It's "harder" to be saved in these last days than it was back in the Bible days, because back in the Bible days, there was alot more miracle, signs and wonders being performed by God and His messengers than it is today. I'm not saying that I have to see signs in order to believe that there is a God, but miracles are a great ways of proving the existence of God. Just look at the incident where Moses parted the red sea, If something like that was to happen today, alot more people would be followers of Christ." |
Bible Answer: humility, I might beg to differ with your friend. Our Lord dealt with the same heart and attitudes of people in His day and we do so today also. People always want proof when they already have it. Hebrews 12:1- Sence we are surounded by such a great cloud of wittnesses... We have all the evidence we need. We have it our fingertips, we have it living within us Col 1:27 and how about what God is and has worked and is working in our lives as well as the lives of others. So ya see, God does no less today than he has in years past. In Him, lionheart |
