Question O’ The Day 4.0
Today’s Question is…“How many angels can you get on the…..” No, wait we’ve already done that.
How about this. It’s a good one. Really.
Part of our evangelical/revivalist tradition is the idea that one’s life should change when you become a Christian. We should have a testimony of a changed life, and a life tht matches the testimony. Serious Christians are often frustrated when they don’t see enough changes in the lives of those who profess faith. How much (or what kind of) “life change” should one see in the first few months of a NEW Christian’s life? Or is this whole concern an example of an errant theology of conversion and the Christian Life that looks at the wrong things for assurance?
btw- Denise’s question from two evenings ago is still in play, and kinda relates.
“And after all He’s done for us, we should love Him and try to please Him. Obedience is biblical! So where do we draw the line between a healthy desire to obey and legalistic attempts at obedience? And what’s the answer for this kind of legalism?”
