Your comment about knowing that you are saved is based on this Bible passage:
1 John 5:12-13
12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
While you claim to know that you are saved before death and judgement, yet many ignore and do not believe in these words of Jesus:
John Chapter 5; 51-53
I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”a
53Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
You may also listen to St Paul In Phillippians 2:12
So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your salvation with fear and trembling.*
Hi Adsum,
“Your comment about knowing that you are saved is based on this Bible passage: 1 John 5:12-13
Actually, no. This is just a simple and clear passage that teaches salvation and eternal life is in the Son. When we have Him, we have eternal life.
The assurance of my salvation is based of faith in the totality of God’s Word and His character.
“While you claim to know that you are saved before death and judgement, yet many ignore and do not believe in these words of Jesus:
I do not claim. I know.
I trust His Word and His character. I do not ignore any part of inspired Scripture. It simply doesn’t mean what you’ve been taught
“work out your salvation with fear and trembling.*
It says work out. It never says work *for*
Kind regards to you
