Bible Note: Joe and Emmaus, I am afraid that this still boils down for some of us who are told to be sure of their salvation, but are still afraid of their works. Will Jesus greet us by saying "I never knew you." Will we end up in heaven only to be cast out by the King himself(and not very lovingly I might add). I have always felt the work of the Spirit in my heart and life since I invited Jesus to be my Lord. My life has changed, often like Chuck Swindoll says, 2 steps forward, one step back...although sometimes vice-versa. Without boring you with the 32 years since that day, I am suddenly empty. And I can testify that this is not an aberation of mid-life. There has to be some other concrete way to know, to help others know. I'm just tired of this "drifting" feeling. Thanks for the dialog. Peace |
