Bible Question: Many people consider themselves Christians for believing in Jesus and God, and believe themselves to be born again for accepting Jesus as their savior. Of this people many do not strive to follow the word of god. Do you believe these people will be in heaven simply for accepting Jesus as their savior. |
Bible Answer: No! believing in Christ means to have faith and redy to obey His commandments. In John 3:16 it was mentioned "whosoever believed" but believed defines deeply to follow Christ and have faith in Him: Mt 7:21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. "Who will do it the will of the Father" Joh 14:15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments. Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. I hope it would helps. God bless, |
