Five years ago, I remember walking in the city to work. A lot of homeless individuals lay restless at bus stops and edges of sidewalks. Federal government workers with their professonal attire challenging the equality of who people are that isnt dependant on their work class and where they lived.
I saw one gentleman with a brown cardboard with Galations 3:20 which says: Ive been crucified in christ. I no longer live I, but Christ within me. Insofar, I live not for myself but for the son of god.
While this had not brought me to christ but it had let me understand the scriptural view of salvation. I was confirmed 2012 at our local Roman Catholic Church. I was saved by physical sacraments via faith.
Not everyone shares my sentiments for Catholicism in general. The bible didnt "save" me nor did just faith.
I didnt know where to put this since its not debate. My question is, how do you share in some detail how you believed that christ saved you? I challenge you to find words of your own without scripture because faith isnt an abstract mysterous word. If you are saved, in my view, a christian can articulate it especially if the experience is fact. I can share my factual experiences but I dont care to debate the RCC and whether its christian. I disagree with debating with your own peers. But I will only if asked.
How (rather than only why) were you and did you know you are saved? Is it only by scripture and faith or does it go beyond that?
