Many people sit in church every Sunday, involved in religious activity, believing they have faith, yet unsure of what genuine saving faith truly entails. We see people who live 'good' lives or were raised in religious families, and we might assume they are saved. But what is the difference between mere intellectual acceptance to the facts of the Gospel and the type of faith that actually saves? Jesus, in Matthew 7, warns that ‘not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven'. This implies that there is a faith that is not unto salvation, a faith that ultimately misses the mark, much like the foolish virgins in the parable who ran out of oil. So how can we know for sure? How do we identify the authentic, God-given faith that assures us of eternal life? This Sunday, we will open God's Word to explore the genuine signs of saving faith. We'll look at the biblical evidence of a heart and life transformed by the Holy Spirit, the kind of faith that produces lasting fruit, a life of love, and a growing desire for holiness and obedience to God's Word.
