What is Saving Faith Evidence of in a Person's Life? | April 29 In this episode of Strength for Today, Pastor John Blevins of Christ Church Presbyterian in Knoxville, Tennessee, explores Acts 13:48 to answer a crucial question about salvation and God's sovereign work. Why do some believe the gospel while others do not? The Bible says that as many as were appointed to eternal life believed. This powerful verse teaches us that saving faith is not something we generate on our own. It is evidence of God's effectual calling and election. Drawing from Westminster Larger Catechism Question 68, Pastor Blevins explains the difference between the outward call that many hear and the inward call that only the elect receive by the Holy Spirit. This devotional helps clarify the doctrine of effectual calling in a pastoral, biblical, and deeply personal way. Discover how this truth impacts assurance, evangelism, worship, and everyday Christian living. Understand the grace that saves, the call that transforms, and the God who appoints people to eternal life.
