How do you know you’re a saved Christian if you’ve never become one? It’s like youngsters who think they’re in love, when in reality they’re infatuated. You don’t know the real deal until you’ve experienced it. Meanwhile, it’s impossible to realize you don’t have what you think you have. It doesn’t even seem to make sense to write about this, except for maybe those who know what I’m talking about might feel less alone.
There are no words powerful enough to destroy the power of self-deception. Even reading the bible countless times over and over can’t do it. Until God humiliatingly breaks a person completely down and supernaturally takes over his soul, the will of man is fully capable of playing any role. Only after you’re off the stage do you see how vacant the landscape is of those who live.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
— 2 Corinthians 6:1
