-Profession Versus Possession
Reading: Matthew 7:21-23; 1 John 2:19; James 2:19
One of the most sobering realities in Scripture is that a person can carry the title of Christian, know the language of the church, and still never have been born again.
Jesus warned in Matthew 7 that many would claim his name on the day of judgment and be turned away.
The apostle John explained that those who depart from the faith reveal they were never truly of the faith.
Genuine salvation is not a checked box.
It is a possessed reality.
The demons believe certain facts about God and shudder.
True faith transforms the nature, produces fruit, and endures to the end.
Examine what you possess, not merely what you profess.
