Yes. Jesus expects complete surrender to His will. Think of the rich young ruler that approached Jesus: "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus said, "Follow the commandments". Young ruler responds, "All these I have kept since childhood. What still do I lack?". Jesus zeros in on the man's issue: "Go, sell everything you own, give to the poor, then come and follow me". The issue is one of full surrender. The man walks away sad, because he loves his riches more than Christ. He serves his stuff as an idol and cannot leave that behind in surrender to Christ.
We all have our idols. We must be willing and eager to turn to Christ, begging the potter to mold the clay of our lives as He wishes. He is the potter, we are the clay.
Why u get a downdoot? This is true!
Darkness hates the light.
Easy believism is a like a vax for the true gospel. It It innoculates unbelievers to give this faith thing a spin. When they don't get instant results, they turn away, concluding that it's fake.
We should NEVER tell a "new convert" that they are saved. If we do, then we undermine the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Rom 8:16. We cannot see faith in another, and should never attempt to give the assurance that can only come from the Spirit.
Exactly. They should profess it themselves.
