Subject: Is accepting Christ as my saviour enough |
Bible Note: I can help a some... accepting Christ as just as your savior is not enough.... you must accept Jesus as the Lord of your life. That means you put God's will before your own. He is the Lord of your family life, your finances, your career....everything. He wants us to follow in Christ's footsteps, not just accept that he's the boss. There are several scriptures that address this: Gal 5:19-21... Here, Paul addresses people who are already Christians (they already believed Jesus was the savior).... yet he was warning them that if they continue to live in their sin (if they continue to not have Jesus as their Lord), they will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Another scripture is James 2:14-17 and on.... it talks about Faith without deeds... faith alone is not enough. There is a definite plan of salvation throughout the new testament. If your interested, start reading in Acts, it tells of what happened after Jesus death... it's the account of the first Church and tells what happened when Pentecost came and how baptism (to receive the Holy Spirit) came about (Acts 2:38)... I hope this was helpful... |
