Genuine Faith

In these days when everyone is so good, it’s sometimes difficult to tell the difference between the impostor and the real things. Even within the church, some behave as if they can satisfy God by skillfully acting out the part of a Christian.

Sometimes there are people who have learned to walk, talk, and act like Christians, think they really are. By outward appearances, they are. But if they have never personally placed their trust in Jesus Christ, they are phonies. They lack that “genuine faith” which alone brings true salvation (2 Tim 1:5)

We deceive ourselves if we believe that pious language, good behavior or church attendance is the key to heaven. Only by trusting the Lord Jesus as Savior can we avoid the rude awakening on the day of judgement and faced the misguided world when we walked into a glace road.

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? - 2 Cor. 13:5
