You Do the Math

If we look at Scripture to determine what salvation really is, we would see that it is actually a two step process; one being confession by mouth and the second being believe in the heart that Jesus is who God says he is (Romans 10:9-10). Therefore if one plus one equals two, then how can you have salvation if one of the two pieces is missing?

3) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God, 5) Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God, John 3:3,5. Many church goers have one foot in and the other out, they have no faith and no vision, they walk in fear and are double minded: this kind of action is not “born again.” God said he has anointed us to set the captives free, give sight to the blind, in order that we might be born again.

The question we must ask ourselves is do we believe in our heart Jesus is Lord? If the answer is yes, then this means we believe the word of God. Oh, I may have lost a few right there. To believe in Him is to believe the word, especially since He is the word made flesh. Wait for it…If we don’t believe the word, we can’t believe in Jesus. If we believe the word then this means we must obey the word. Is there demonstration in your life that says you are born again? Or are you still doing things the way you used to? The word of God washes us and regenerates us and conform us to the image of Christ. Is there any evidence in your walk that you are who you say you are? Or are you simply a “church goer,” one who does not possess a relationship with God Almighty?

We will go a little further tomorrow. Meanwhile, you do the math!
