I have a friend who does not believe this and she thinks there are other ways to God and she is a Christian minister. We are at an impasse. I keep praying that Jesus will speak deep into her heart so she can hear the truth. She loves people and desires to see them all be with God - I do too. Thanks for your clear biblical explanation. Our minister explained this clearly too. Very hard when others don't take the Bible seriously.Blessings,<br />JanisJanis Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863083811890899986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-82305712151645848802013-09-28T07:15:36.554-07:002013-09-28T07:15:36.554-07:00Well Written!

Even more interesting, some atheists express anger at or contempt for God, even though they deny belief in His existence. No one gets angry at or hates the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy, for example.<br /><br />It is an awesome truth that salvation is indeed so simple that even a child of sufficient maturity can understand it. Its very simplicity is a stumbling block to those who are prideful and want to trust in their own works for salvation.<br /><br />It is always a blessing to read your supportive comments. I'm glad we are on the same page on major doctrinal points.<br /><br />God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-78278941917078965772013-09-22T16:23:54.481-07:002013-09-22T16:23:54.481-07:00I am 100% certain (and very thankful) that I am sa...I am 100% certain (and very thankful) that I am saved.

yes it is a personal relationship with ...Hi Laurie,<br />yes it is a personal relationship with the Lord that is required, and we have to listen to what He is saying to us through the enlightening of the word by the Holy Spirit. There are many, many scriptures that He can bring to our attention, depending on what He requires us as individuals to do. I remember a long time ago He brought to my attention James ch. 2v.17 'Thus also, faith by itself without works is dead.' He then went on to show me how Abraham took his son to be sacrificed knowing that God would provide a substitute because God had already told Abraham that it was through that particular son that his descendants would follow. I know that the Lord was teaching me to believe what He has told me and do what He requires of me ( in this instance trusting Him absolutely for my healing ) because the scriptures say that all the promises of God are 'yes' in Jesus. Paul says in 2 Corinthians ch. 1 v.7 that being partakers of the sufferings, so also we will be partakers of the consolation. I believe absolutely that the 'works' He requires are doing what He is telling me to do.<br />God blessBrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.com
