If you would die right now, where would you be a
split second later?
Are you 100% sure and if so what do you base that assurance on?
Are you 100% sure and if so what do you base that assurance on?
Assurance
based on who Jesus is and what He has done to make you a part of the Church, the
Bride of Christ is the only 100 % assurance. In Jesus, you have a firm
knowledge and certainty of your future now and forever in Him that, since you
are a Christ follower, makes you secure!
“For God
has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord
Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will
live together with Him.” 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 God’s wrath for sin was poured out on Jesus.
Now, “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those
who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1
Neither our initial getting saved from the penalty
of our sin or our day to day life saved from sin’s power or our eventual
eternity in Heaven with God and being saved then from sin’s presence is based
on our performance or accomplishments or our failures; it is based on Jesus and
our receiving of His completed work. (Eph. 2:8-10)
Our job is to love and that love will lead to
obedience (Jn 14:15) and if we make the right choice to obey, God will do the
performing and the outcome is up to Him and the strength to do what He directs
us is given by Him. Quit looking to God as the one to help do something we
can't quite do because apart from Him we can do nothing good; let God work
through you.
Saved by Grace and walking by Grace all through the
faith God gives us. Get to know and love Him so you will obey Him.
Let God be the one that fights the battles!
You do the obeying by the getting up and going where
He directs and in His strength you can be used and have no fear of the outcome!
“Trust in the LORD
with all your heart.. and he will direct your path..” (Proverbs 3:5-6) because
He has saved you and given you a certain eternity with Him; look forward to
Heaven, but enjoy obeying and growing and being used now too.
