Believe and you will be saved! Is it that simple?

Something this morning shone light on a past stop on my spiritual journey. During my morning prayer time I asked for help in securing my position on a very touchy subject.

The brother of a fellow Christian had passed away and they returned to the area for his funeral. She had shared with me the cause of death was believed to be AIDS considering his homosexual life style. Over coffee I asked how she was dealing with his death from a Biblical standpoint. Her answer came quickly and with held no doubt. “He’s in heaven. He was saved years ago.” My understanding of scripture is quite the opposite and it’s weighed heavily in the back of my mind considering the many I know and love that fall in that same category.

As I went through my email this morning I was led to the book of Hebrews chapter 10 and found assurance in the following verse I had previously highlighted in my Bible app:

🎚️26 If we deliberately keep on sinningt after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 🎚️

Thank you Lord.
