Bible Question: Having attempted salvation szeveral times and failed, How do I know if it is a useless cause . Hebrews 6:4 |
Bible Answer: Dear Friend, part one Let me refer you to just a few verses thar might help you. The first is John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that WHOSOEVER belives in Him should not parish but have everlasting life. Look at the capitalized word whosoever and ask yourself what does this word mean. Very plainly it means that anyone who comes to Christ wil be saved. Let us look a little deeper at this. From here we will go to the book of Romans chapter 3:23"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." What is the Glory of God? It is Jesus Christ or absoulet perfection. Needless to say all of us fall short at this point.Romans 6:23 "For the wagesof sin is death but thegift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." We have alraedy established the fact that all have sinned now we see the result of that sin death. An important note here is that there are two kinds of death there is spiritiual and physical. Physical death is something we are all anquainted with So what is spiritual death well that is seperation from God. But if we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior that wall of death is broken down and we can be with God. Romans 10: 9-10 " that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and belivein your heart that God has raised Him from the dead you will be saved. For with the heart one belives unto rightousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Here the important question is what does the scripture mean when it refers to the heart? What I have come to believe is that the heart of man is that part of man that is created in the image of God. There are four parts to this the intellect the emotion the soul andthe free will. |
