Bible Note: How can you be sure you are really saved? "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." --John 17:3 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life." --John 5:24 "They said, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.'" --Acts 16:31 "But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works" --Romans 4:5-6 In short, because God has called me to faith in Christ as SCRIPTURE reveals to me. No guesswork about it. I repeat, where in SCRIPTURE is your point of view established? Contrary to what many 21st-century Americans think, Christianity is not a religion where you just make up whatever tickles your fancy and expect God to honor it. Show me from Scripture where you are right. Whatever works? What if "juggling for Jesus" worked for me? Should I consider that a way to get closer to God and live the "higher" Christian life? What you are feeding the forum is pragmatism, which is pure poppycock. Sola Scriptura. --Joe! |
