Christianity is not a barter system, where if God does certain things for me I will respond. Or, if I perform then I expect God to reciprocate. Genuine Christianity is a surrender faith. The type of faith that saves is one that truly receives Christ. Billy Graham points out that it does little good to know that a plane will fly unless you get on board.
Faith implies trust .
But this is much different from saying that you must change first in order to receive His salvation. God does not want us to give up anything except that which is harmful to us. W e encourage you to read God's Word for yourself. All rights reserved.
