Bible Question:
CDBJ, But how does one know that they are not practicing "true Christianity" rather than "Churchanity", that is, that there salvation is genuine? |
Bible Answer: Greetings, That's an easy one for me. I use to ask myself that same question many times; then one day it dawned on me, every day I found myself praising the Lord for who He is and what He did for me in the person of Jesus and I love His Word, the Bible. Doing something like that just isn’t normal for a guy like me and it’s been going on now for over 40 years! Some how the Lord changed my thinking habits and my life has changed when I put “all” of my future in Jesus hands and trusted in Him. 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. How do you fit into the picture with regards to the following verses? John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. Read it again ---------- “Why” was it written??????? Wow, that’s eternal life! 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. Church doesn’t have anything to do with having eternal life its all “Jesus” and what he did and who He is that matters. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Have a great day and believe what the God that created this whole universe is promising you in His Word the Bible; if you can’t believe God and trust Him then who can you trust?? CDBJ |
