No, belief in a god or even the One True God is not sufficient. Even demons believe in the God of the Bible and they are condemned to Hell. (James 2:19) The Devil knew the Heavenly Father personally and is yet condemned because of his sin. (Ezekiel 28:12-19) .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus was very clear when he told us He was the only way to salvation.<\/strong> (John 14:6). He doesn’t ask for anything complicated. He just wants all you are and have. (Mark 8:34)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Romans 8:16 tells us that the Holy Spirit “in-dwells” or merges with our spirit and assures us of our salvation. Romans 8:14 says: “For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons (children)<\/em> of God.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think we can argue this point either way based on scripture. I believe that the bible tells us that we are a work in progress from the moment we commit our lives to Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6). It also tells us that we can not tell the salvation of others. Therefore, we are told to focus on our own salvation (Philippians 2:12). We will then exhibit the fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22) and our works for the Kingdom will be an outward sign of our Spirit filled life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is my interpretation of scripture that we do not “Lose Our Salvation” but that our actions are direct proof of our salvation ( or lack thereof ).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n As believers we are filled with the Spirit. It is our submission to that Spirit that proves our salvation.<\/strong> Our lack of submission proves we are walking in the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21) and have not truly committed our lives to Christ.(Hebrews 10:26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Revelation we are told that those who have not committed and stand on the sidelines of this war will also be rejected in the final counting. (Revelation 3:15) We HAVE to make a choice. We have to stand up when the Spirit calls us. As Joshua called to the nation of Israel, I continue to call to you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today’s Conversation Starter: Is believing in a god enough? Is belief in the God of the Bible enough?
