8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Eph 2:8-10
Our encounter is with Jesus and anointed with the Holy Spirit through repentance and faith in the Cross.
It is our changed heart, our cleansed experience, our reformed and transformed lives that we demonstrate the eternal work Christ has worked in us.
It is impossible to claim the presence of the God in ones heart and not show fruit or life.
Abiding in Christ will always produce fruit, while not abiding in Him and His word, will destroy and kill whatever life that appears.
