We are living a life that is so fleeting that it is described as a puff of smoke, why do we think we have plenty of time to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior? If you have asked Jesus into your heart but you are still living the life of a sinner, one that doesn’t look like a Christian life, then you are fooling yourself by saying “I am a Christian”.
When Jesus is truly asked into someone’s life and heart and it is sincere…there is a change that comes over your heart. Yes, you will slip up and say things that you shouldn’t but you will be convicted by the Holy Spirit, that what you said or did is wrong. You feel the wrongness of it because you do belong to Him. If you never feel that conviction, then you don’t belong to Him and you are not saved.
Saying a prayer and having someone tell you that you are a Christian doesn’t save you. If your behavior doesn’t change, then you haven’t received Jesus as your Savior. There is always a change in your life and your heart when Jesus comes in to be your Savior. Your life changes because the Holy Spirit comes into your life and into your heart and you are saved by believing in Him and the sacrifice that He gave His Life for all of us and it is a gift from God through faith in Him by our acceptance of Jesus as our Savior.
God gave us this planet to live on, with all kinds of food and the families that all of us enjoy. From the very beginning until now, God needs nothing from us but He chose to give us His grace. If you are wondering what else He gives us I’ll try to list a few here:
He makes sure your heart beats every time and He does this for EVERYONE.
He makes sure you can breathe during the night and the day.
He has given each of us the abilities that we have to do our work, for Him and for our family.
But…most of all, He has given us the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. No other religion offers salvation and forgiveness just by believing in the Person and the Hope of Life that is Jesus Christ. Sometimes we try to help Him “save” us by doing lots of projects and work at the church of our choice but remember this: God made the ENTIRE universe a long time before you or I was born, so He doesn’t need our help. He wants us to be His children and part of His family and that is why He chose us before “the foundation of the world”.
Your name and my name were written in His book of saints before the light was spoken into existence. God has always had each believer in His mind long before we were born.
Today, we are living at a time that is rapidly approaching the end of the church age, the age of Grace. I pray that you will seek to know Him as your Savior soon, because there is coming a time when the Holy Spirit will be taken from the Earth and it will be very hard to give your heart and life to Jesus, much harder than it is today. Seek to know Him and to give your heart to Him today. He loves you and He is waiting for you to open the door.
