Bible Question:
Cheri, 1. Is it not true that there are those who have seemed to change and have the Holy Spirit working in their lives who later on in life fall away? 2. If that is true, how can one be assured that he is saved and will never fall away? |
Bible Answer: Hi there, for #1 See James 1:14-27 for #2 See James 1:2-8. See also Eph 2:8-9; Tit. 3:3-7; Heb. 7:25 especially 1 Pet. 1:5 and Jude 1:3 Hope this helps. But keep in mind Christianity is not a "couch religion." We are expected to be "ambassadors of Christ" so a change will take place in you behavior. If there is no change then go back to the Cross with 1 John 1:9. Cheri |
