Featured My initial thoughts on Eternal Security by Charles Stanley

We have touched on this many times in Sunday School class. Call it what you want, I'm not all that when it comes to the terms used, but one who is truly saved, within time, should show a difference in their life and works. They understand that with Christ in them, that they are to strive to be more like him. It may take a day or two, or even months or a few years before a change can be seen, primarily due to living conditions, background, etc.... but point of the matter is that they are deepening their faith and pursuing to be a better child of God and have truly handed their hearts over into the Lords hands.

Then you have those that claim to be saved, but never, ever try to let Christ take over their life. They were saved after a retreat, great sermon, camp, etc........ We call these the emotionally saved. Where they were so caught up in the emotions of the present time, that they wanted to be saved but never truly put their hearts into it. We warn our youth about this before summer camp. Not to let their emotions get the best of them and be saved because of it, because it felt like the right thing to do, but to be truly open and honest and let Christ come into their hearts.

Understand what I'm getting at?
