why
do Unbelievers try to become a Christian by “being good,” imitating the life of
Christ?
Is it because the Saints have not done a good job
of sharing some simple truths of God’s plan of salvation?
Listen, it is impossible for an Unbeliever to
become a Christian with any other “action” other than believing. That’s why the
New Testament stresses so much about the Saints being Believers. And for sinners to “believe.”
But also, trying to imitate the life and example
of Christ while still clothed in their sinfulness (result of being physically
born “in Adam”), sinners are trying to put holiness into sinfulness…God will
not have that.
The only way a sinner can be Born Again is by the
death of Jesus. John 12:23-24 gave the
illustration of the corn of wheat, a parable of His death and resurrection and
bringing forth “fruit” (Born Again Believers).
This is the heart of the “Easter story” and the Resurrection!
