Subject: What is eternal life? What is saved? |
Bible Note: Kin, in your most recent response to my post, you, speaking of the genuineness of conversion, asked me, "Was yours? How do you know? Is that eternal security, not knowing for sure? Do we have to say the right words? Feel the right way?"......... Kin, how we "feel" has nothing to do with salvation, and salvation has nothing to do with our feelings. There are no "right" words, no works, nothing, and again I say, nothing that we can do now or ever that will contribute one iota to our salvation. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Period. Period. Period..... Scripture answers your question, "How do we know" (we are saved)? and it answers it fully and for all time in language so clear and plain that a child could understand. Here it is: "The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has that life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that may know (((so that you may KNOW, so that you may KNOW, so that you may KNOW))) that you have eternal life." (1 John 5:9-13) Parenthetical repetition and emphases are mine. .... By the way, did you happen to catch that last statement, "so that you may know that you have eternal life"? --Hank |
