The Bible teaches that true salvation is not merely about professing faith, but possessing a heartfelt relationship with Christ.
The Scriptures emphasize that true salvation is an inward reality rather than just outward profession. Romans 10:9 highlights that salvation comes through believing in one’s heart and confessing with one’s mouth. Moreover, the experience of true salvation is characterized by a transformative encounter with Christ's grace, leading individuals to a deep sense of their sin and a yearning for redemption. This journey often involves trials that refine faith and an awareness of one’s need for grace, as described in Philippians 1:6, which ensures that God will complete the good work He has begun in His people.
