Evidence. ( Romans 5 v 8 )

Following on my previous blogg  asking the question, are we truly saved?,  the word of God stresses  that  true faith must show itself ,by what we believe,and by what we manifest in our lives.What we believe is very important,the purpose of Johns gospel is clearly stated, in chapter 20 v 31.'That we may believe that Jesus is the Christ,the Son of God'. In these words  John who first of all stresses faith, a faith that is founded in what the Bible tells us,and only what the Bible tells us. Faith in what  ?Christ,the meaning of Christ is Messiah the anointed one, the one who would come to save us from our sins (Isaiah 53 )In Isaiah 61 v 1 ,we read 'The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,because the Lord has anointed me to  preach good news to the poor to the poor, He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted , to proclaim freedom for the captives,and release from darkness for the prisoners''  In Luke 4 v 21 Jesus spoke the following words as regards Himself ,to his fellow Jews ''Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing''.
