Bible Question:
BradK, 1. How do the Bible verses you used give someone who believes they are being loyal to God and saved the assurance of salvation when these verses seem to give obvious examples of those who are not loyal to God? 2. If "only God knows the heart of an individual," does that mean one cannot know for sure if they are saved? 3. What are the requirements that give assurance of having passed the test? |
Bible Answer: Lookin4ward2Heaven, Yes only God truly knows our heart and yes we can know for sure that we are saved. The question that arises is where does one stand in relation to what God's Word says of salvation. Mk 16:16,Jn 3:16,Acts 2:38,1 Jn 2:23,5:1,5. A changed life will be evidenced by a changed life and a willingness to keep God first in their life,Mtt 6:33,Lk 14:26,27. Read all of 1 John, think about Heb 12:1 We have all the evidence we need. In Him, lionheart |
