Our world is coming to the point in the Bible where the Book of Revelation begins. Much of the prophecy in God’s Word is starting to take place in front of our eyes, on the news and other media sources. Seek out your Savior while there is time to do so. Don’t put your salvation off because none of us know when our last day might be.
The thief on the cross only believed in Jesus and he was saved. No baptism and no time to learn more from Jesus Himself but Jesus told him “Today you will be with Me in Paradise”. It is that simple. Just as a child believes by their faith, that is how we come to Jesus with child-like faith. We can’t help Jesus save our souls by anything that we do or try to add to our faith in Him. Salvation doesn’t work like that.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life so put your faith in Him while there is time.
Jesus Christ is our Savior, believe in Him for your salvation.
If we want the peace of God, we must first have peace with God. Jesus promised to give us His peace and that is wonderful but you must be a child of God, adopted into the family by the Holy Spirit through belief in Jesus Christ to have it! There is no formula or certain task you have to perform other than your conviction that you need Jesus and your positive response to that conviction.
In life, we have so many areas where we have to perform just to get a promotion or even a job. Salvation is a gift from God by our acceptance of Jesus as our Savior through faith in Him. There is no formula or any special act or anything that we can do to “help” Jesus in the saving of our souls. He has already taken care of the “act” that was needed to do that, all we have to do is choose to accept His gift to us…period.
What is “peace with God”? It is the joy of knowing that you are His and nothing can take you out of His hand! Once you have accepted Jesus as your Savior and prayed for understanding His Word and really studied the Bible some, you will have that joy and peace that no one outside the family of God can know or even understand. I pray that many people will recognize that they need Jesus as their Savior because we are on the verge of the prophecies found in the Bible regarding what most people view as the “end of days” or that is foretold in the Book of Revelation. Don’t dismiss this article as someone trying to instill fear about our future. The prophecy is real and every one of them in the Bible has come true except for those near the end…which is where we are now.
There are many who think they do and there are a few who actually do wake up acknowledging Him and walking with Him throughout the day. I’m not saying that you have to live your life this way but if you are saved and a believer in Jesus for your salvation you are expected to live this way. Jesus said for us to “take up our cross daily and follow Him”. If you aren’t doing this as a believer…why not?
Living your life daily connected to Jesus is also a part of being His disciple. You might say that you didn’t sign up for being a disciple but you did. Giving your heart and life to Him is not a little bit here or there, it is giving everything that you are to Jesus and pledging to do so every morning when you wake up and begin your day. We are not supposed to pick and choose parts of God’s Word to believe and we can’t choose to give Him part of our life and keep back some areas of it. Your salvation is for your whole life…all of it. Not just a piece of it here and there.
When you wake up, you have been given a gift. We do not have a guarantee of days and years of life but God gives us those to prove to us how much He loves us. Most people do not look at their daily lives as gifts from God but each day truly is. Each of us, as believers, has an obligation to fulfill because of the mercy and grace that we have been given even though we don’t deserve it. Our obligation is to use our daily lives as our witness to others for Him so that our faith in Him is visible every day and not just on Sunday at church.
Every Christian is saved because God called you or me. We can’t just choose to be a Christian because even though we may live morally and go to church and act like one, without the Holy Spirit changing our hearts and us living a Christian life according to His leading there is no way that we can truly live a Christian life. Jesus said that we can do nothing without Him, so seek Him in the Bible and learn about Him. Follow the example set by His disciples.
