Bible Question: When a person really believes that God became flesh and was on earth(Jn1:10)and died (fleshly) and rose again,Does this make him Saved? |
Bible Answer: JesusFriend, The short answer to this question is that salvation is being saved from the wages of sin - spiritual death - by the gift of God - eternal life. (Rom 6:23) Because of Adam's sin, we are born into this world separated from God - spiritually dead. (Rom 5:12) But the good news of the gospel is that Christ came to give us life - His life - and to give it to us abundantly. (John 10:10). Christ's blood, shed on the cross of Calvary, takes away the sin issue between God and man. And His resurrection provides us with new life in Him. (Eph 2:4,5) It is His life, not His death, that saves us. (Rom 5:10) As a result of His life in us, we are new creations in Him. (2 Cor 5:17) Jesus called this being "born again", not of flesh but of the Spirit of God. How do we receive and experience this "new birth"? By grace through faith. (Eph 2:8,9) We simply believe that what He says is so. We come to Him acknowledging that we are born sinners and need His life. If you are saved, the living Christ has come to dwell within you forever and you have begun the great adventure for which you were created as a child of God. You can know that God will never leave you, the assurance of salvation. ...For He Himself has said, "I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you." (Heb 13:5) 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 the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. - 1 John 5:11-13 McGracer |
