I'm a Christian and I know & believe that a person is saved by believing in Christ as John 3:16 tells us. But the story of Lazarus has been a bit puzzling to me because of verse 25. I know God's word does not contradict so I must be either misreading it or missing something, so I need your help!!
According to Luke 16:19~31, Lazarus was a homeless man who went to heaven, but it does not say whether he believed in God. It tells us in verse 25 that Lazarus "received bad things" & the rich man "his good things".
But in verse 30 it gives us a hint that Lazarus did because it's talking about the unrepenting family of the rich man.
So Lazarus did believe in God by looking at vs.30, 25...?

Oops.. my apology, I'm correcting myself,
..in verse "31" it gives us a hint that Lazarus believed in God because it's talking about the unrepenting family of the rich man.
the point of this story is in verse 31
