The Unconverted "Believer"

We address a subject today that has always been an abiding concern of mine. This is the problem of the unconverted "believer" that is found throughout our world. Just as this coronavirus has become a common plague throughout the world, so this spiritual virus of unconverted "Christians" is also a world-wide menace. But whereas the coronavirus is only of recent origin, this spiritual disease of nominal Christianity—Christians in name only—has been with us throughout this Christian era throughout the world. And this spiritual malady is not only encountered in the world, it is perhaps most prevalent within churches. The fact is that there are many, many people who profess that they are Christians, that they are believers in the Lord Jesus, but they are actually strangers to the grace of God in Christ that brings salvation. As the old adage states, they are professors of Christ but they are not possessors of Christ.
