Bible Question:
Doc, 1. What are the "evidences of our salvation"? 2. How do these "evidences" give assurance of my future salvation? 2. Can someone error in perceiving these "evidences" as indications of genuine salvation when, in fact, they are not saved? 3. How can one who presently receives the Word with joy know for sure that when trials come by their way in the future, they will not fall away? |
Bible Answer: Greetings For me personally, one of the evidences of salvation, is a hunger to feed upon the word of God. Another evidence is when you desire to spend more time with the people of God, than you do with people that don't know God Again another basic evidence of genuine salvation is a changed life. By that I mean a life that now goes in the opposite direction it previous went before becoming saved. (see 2 Cor. 5:17) A person genuinely saved, has a new outlook on life. His thoughts are not what they once were. His desires have changed. His attitude concerning material things has changed. He has been given a new heart. Scripture says you will have the internal witness of God's Spirit within you witnessing with your spirit that you are indeed a child of God. (Rom 8:16) There are more evidences, but I believe those I have listed will give a person sufficient proof of having genuine salvation Blessings NC |
