The Apostle Paul could look at believers and know they were chosen because their lives were transformed. The evidence wasn’t hidden; it was undeniable. Faith was never meant to be stagnant or invisible—it’s supposed to be alive, bearing fruit that points to the reality of Jesus.

Maybe the problem is that we care so deeply about our friends and neighbors being saved that we’ve created a softer version of faith, one that asks little and expects nothing. But eternity is too weighty to comfort ourselves with wishful thinking. The Bible paints a clear picture: new life in Christ is radical, visible, and real. The question is, do our lives reflect that truth?
