Is it possible to be truly saved and yet not know it?

That's just one of the questions we'll be answering on today's edition of Core Christianity.

Hi, it's Bill Meyer, along with Pastor Adriel Sanchez, and this is the radio program where we answer your questions about the Bible and the Christian life every day.

First up today, let's go to Ann in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

And what's your question for Adrile?

Yes, I would like to know.

I appreciate you taking my call.

How to reach.

We have family members who love Jesus they say and I

think they feel like that you know their salvation is secure but they refuse to allow

us to mention even to our grandson they believe that Mary's without sin. And, you know, they pray to Mary.

And my greatest concern is the fact that how do you reach them? How can you believe Mary's

without sin and yet trust when Christ is the only one who paid for our salvation. I appreciate your wisdom.

Hey, Ann, thank you for that question.

So some of it is just a little bit of theological triage here, right?

Can somebody be truly a believer and hold to things that maybe aren't found in the Bible that don't strike at the

vitals of the Christian faith and of the gospel.

And I think that the answer to that question is yes.

I mean, there are many genuine believers who have, you know, contradictory beliefs.

And it's important for us to recognize that it's not our perfect understanding of everything that saves us.
