Entertainment Faith and Religion obedience salvation eternal life truth how to be saved gospel jesus promise rude awakening

Our Listener asks, "I saw this comment on a website about a
verse of the day. the verse is John 8:30 ‘As
he spake these words, many believed on him.’
Here is the comment: ‘While we often talk about Jesus as our Lord
and Savior, we can also find it easy to ignore
his voice, or worse, hear Jesus’ words and
ignore them. Our obedience to what Jesus says
demonstrates that we have put our faith in
him. To foolishly disobey, ignore, or neglect to
do what Jesus says is to show that we don’t
believe him to be our Lord to DO what he says
to us as our Lord! Jesus promised a very rude awakening at
judgment for those who take this attitude
(Matthew 7:21-27). So, let’s commit to reading
through each of the four Gospels (Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John) before the end of each
year. As we read about Jesus’ life and teachings,
let’s do it as a search for the heart of Jesus
and ask God to help us know him better and
follow him more thoroughly and more
obediently as the Holy Spirit conforms us to
be more like him (2 Corinthians 3:18)!’ I believe we are saved by trusting in the
promise of eternal life of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of sins by Jesus’ life and ministry.
I would like to hear your thoughts about
this pastor’s comments.”
