Bible Question: How can we know if our faith is real? |
Bible Answer: In the Partners in Growing booklet we hand out to a new convert in the Evangelism Explosion ministry founded by D.James Kennedy the following statement is made: The Bible states clearly that no one has eternal life just because he SAYS that he has trusted Christ (James 2:14). Only the person who truly repented (foresaken, turned away) from his sins and placed his faith in Jesus Christ's sacrificial death genuinely has received eternal life. The person who has committed his life to Jesus Christ and thereby received the gift of eternal life will, out of gratitude for that gift, desire to: -Obey Christ and please God -Study God's Word: the Bible -Be with God's people in worship -Tell others about Christ -Live a clean and holy life The person who has no desire to learn more and grow in his spiritual life should not be deceived into thinking he actually possessos eternal life. Although there will be struggles, with new life comes new desires and a new hunger for the things of God. Living Coram Deo, Jim Raisler |
