We know that men are saved by repentance and faith, and whoever

Host: The evening had settled into a peaceful calm, the room quiet except for the soft ticking of a clock. The fading light of the day had left the room bathed in a gentle, golden glow. Jeeny sat at the table, a book in her hands, but her mind was clearly focused on something deeper. Jack, standing by the window, looked out at the darkening world, lost in thought. There was a quiet tension between them, like the conversation was waiting to unfold, something important just beneath the surface.

Finally, Jeeny spoke, her voice steady, but with a hint of something more—something deeper.

Jeeny: “I came across something today by Paul Washer that really resonated with me. He said, ‘We know that men are saved by repentance and faith, and whoever does call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. But salvation is a supernatural work of God that will always produce fruit. And the evidence, not the cause, but the evidence of salvation is a changed life, a changing life.’ What do you think about that?”

Jack: (pauses, his voice thoughtful) “It’s a profound statement. What he’s saying is that salvation isn’t just about saying the right words or believing in the right thing—it’s about a change that happens within you. It’s a transformation, something that can be seen in your life, in the way you live. It’s not about perfection, but about a continual process of change.”

Jeeny: (nodding slowly, her voice calm) “Exactly. The evidence of true salvation isn’t about a single moment—it’s about the ongoing fruit that comes from a life that’s been touched by God. When you’re genuinely saved, it doesn’t just stay inside of you—it shows up in the way you act, in the way you treat others, in the way you carry yourself.”

Host: The stillness in the room seemed to deepen, the weight of their conversation hanging between them like a quiet truth. Jack turned toward Jeeny, his gaze softening as he considered the depth of what had been said. The world outside had darkened, but inside, the words seemed to glow with meaning.

Jack: (his voice quieter now) “So, it’s not enough to just profess faith—it’s about how that faith transforms your life. It’s about the fruit that comes from it, the changes that are visible to others. Salvation is a supernatural work, but its evidence is in how we live differently because of it.”

Jeeny: (gently, her voice filled with conviction) “Yes. And that’s the beauty of it. A changed life is the proof of salvation. It’s not just about a moment of repentance or belief—it’s about the continual, daily transformation that occurs as a result of that. When you’re genuinely saved, your life begins to look different. It’s a process of growth, of becoming more aligned with God’s will.”

Jack: (pauses, reflecting) “It’s comforting in a way. Knowing that salvation isn’t about achieving perfection immediately—it’s about the continual process of change. We’re never going to be perfect, but we are supposed to be changing. And that change is the evidence of God’s work in our lives.”

Jeeny: (smiling softly) “Exactly. The change doesn’t always happen overnight, but it’s a lifelong journey. Salvation isn’t about a one-time act—it’s about living out that salvation day by day, allowing God to shape us, to transform us into something more like Him.”

Host: The peace in the room deepened, the quiet understanding between Jeeny and Jack lingering like a warm, steady presence. The night outside had fully arrived, but inside, there was a sense of calm—an understanding that salvation, though supernatural, is reflected in a changed life. It is not about achieving perfection, but about the daily transformation that speaks to God’s ongoing work within us.

Jack: (with a small smile, his voice softer) “I think it’s a reminder that salvation isn’t just about the moment we’re saved—it’s about the journey after that. The fruit we bear is what shows the world that we’ve truly been touched by grace.”

Jeeny: (nodding, her smile warm) “Yes, and that’s the beauty of it. The evidence of salvation isn’t just what we believe, but how we live—how we continue to change, to grow, and to reflect God’s love and grace in everything we do.”

Host: The world outside had become silent, but inside, the room felt full of quiet understanding. Jeeny and Jack sat in the peace of knowing that salvation is more than just a one-time act—it is an ongoing process, one that brings change, growth, and evidence of a life touched by grace. As the night continued, the sense of transformation lingered in the air, reminding them that salvation is about living out God’s love in real and tangible ways, every single day.
