HopeSS: The Road to Faith — 2 Comments

    • Sometimes we try to make salvation so complicated with our semantics.

      Here are three passages to consider:

      Acts 16:30-32: And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
      And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
      And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

      Rom 10: 9, 10: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
      For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

      James 2: 19: Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

      How do you think we should interpret these passages?

At a camp meeting 40 years later, I happened to see Dr. I. demonstrating some kind of health product, if I remember correctly. (In my mind, I see only the image of him, much older, but still looking much like he did when I was a student, with a friend by my side.) I lingered a little but did not introduce myself. I briefly wondered whether he recognized me. I’m fairly sure that I was as recognizable to him as he was to me.

Had he changed? Or did he still feel superior in his “humility”? Should I talk to him? I didn’t know how to approach him, and was busy with friends. I still don’t know whether I should have said something. (Maybe I’m just a coward.)

If God wants him to see my story, his and my identity are clear enough in this post, that God can direct him to it.
