Bible Answer: In verse 26 of John 11 Christ is teaching to believe in Him for eternal life (ONLY Him). Belief in His death, burial, resurrection...1 Cor 15:1-4. Of course faith (belief) is a gift of God (Eph 2:8-10) that can not be initially manufactured (if it could be initially manufactured it would not be a gift). God saves one first (John 3, born again, 2 Cor 5:17 new creation) enabling one to have faith. Then (but it is instantaneous, which is why many get the steps of salvation out of sequence and thus it brings forth misunderstandings) faith is given-received-acted upon and then grows as one stays in the Word, prayer, fellowship, etc. Once one is truly saved he may never be lost. Christ promised her eternal life! Lazarus was raised as Christ said in John 11:4 ...This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. This also gives us an example of salvation. What did Lazarus contribute to his resurrection...NOTHING, he was dead. He could not see, hear...he was dead. Christ have a specific command to ONE person (election and calling) and called him from the grave. Look at the thread on Sovereignty and Free will for a fuller picture of this. |
