Bible Question (short): Maybe some are not really saved? |
Question (full): I’ve read a lot of statements of people that have done numerous things in their lives that, “biblically speaking”, don’t really make any sense “to me”! Examples; I ask Jesus into my heart. I gave my heart to the Lord. I finally ask Jesus into my life. I now live my life for the Lord. Etc, etc, etc. What has happened to the following? John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 1 John 5:13 These 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. For “all those that have expressed the things” previous to these verses, for what ever reason, on the authority of God’s Word, what are these actions supposed to accomplish, if anything, as far as salvation goes apart from believing in Jesus, God’s Son the Christ? All of those examples make about as much sense as playing Bible hop scotch and landing on the square marked saved! Just for, “those that proclaim these statements”; what do you think it means to simply believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life? I’m curious, and if anyone replies I’ll be surprised. CDBJ P.S. 1 Peter 5:5 (B) : for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. |
