What is our answer to the many confused persons who keep asking: “How can we know that we have come into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ”” First, we stand together on the basic truth that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. A second fact is that men and women are saved by faith in Christ, alone; without works and without our merit. However, the fact that Christ came to save sinners is not enough-that fact in itself cannot save us. Now, in our day, the issues of believing faith and the gift of eternal life are clouded and confused by an “easy acceptance” that has been fatal to millions who may have stopped short in matters of faith and obedience. Faith is believing and receiving, as in\u00a0Acts 16:31<\/a>: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved;” and as in\u00a0John 1:12<\/a>: “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe in his name.” (Tozer)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
