The second sign that the Samaritan woman had been saved…
““The second sign that the Samaritan woman had been saved was the change that occurred in her life. According to the Bible, a bare confession of faith is not in itself enough to demonstrate a new birth. The reason is that a confession of faith is not credible unless it is accompanied by a changed life. It is one thing to recite "the sinner's prayer" or give verbal assent to the gospel, but a true conversion will lead to a living faith-not a dead faith-that bears the spiritual fruit of change in one's life.””
