Reflections Along the Jesus Way
August 24, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“1) Are you sure that you are saved? Askmost Christians that question. Seldom will you receive a dogmatic ‘Yes.’ Normally you will receive a prevaricating, hedging, two-step-like dance. ‘Well, yes, I think so – that is, as long as I continue to do such and such.’ Or the answer might be something like this: ‘I hope I’m saved, but I wouldn’t want to be so arrogant as to say I have it made. I still have a long way to go. I hope I make it.’ Those kinds of comments are by far and away the majority of comments in response to the question, ‘Are you sure you have been saved?’
2) Are you sure God loves you? Again, the answers are going to go something like this: ‘I think he does most of the time, because I go to church every week, because I do good stuff and I try real hard not to do bad stuff. But I have to be honest, there are times when God is probably not very happy with me.’”
