Bible Question:
So are you saying that I can receive Christ and then live however I want to live....I can still live the life of sin but yet go to Heaven? That is unbelievable but would explain why so many people fornicate, commit adultry, beat their kids, and wives and further more, are just simply not submitted to Christ but believe that since that have once received Christ, they have assurance of Eternal Life. I am really confused now. |
Bible Answer: Actually one can live however one wants after comming to Christ for salvation. You must remember however, that the true believers will give up the "driver seat" of their lives to Jesus and, accordingly, their lives will be a reflection of The Lord himself. They will not be perfect, but they are on a life long journey and their steps are ordered by God. As Paul said, "Finish the race." The life of a Christian is an on-going, daily, hourly relationship with God Himself. All relationships require work and input by both parties. God knows your heart. |
