Confessions of Jesus Christ
Day 3
And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
Luke 23:43(nkjv)
Assurance of our salvation is important. Once you have given your life to Jesus Christ, you are assured of your salvation. The very moment we give our lives to God, we take our position in God's Kingdom.
Salvation happens instantly but it is also a work in progress. When you give your life to Christ, you have to keep working out your salvation with fear and trembling as the scripture advises.
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Philippians 2:12(nkjv)
After surrendering your life to Christ, you have to keep working for your salvation. If you don't work out your salvation, you might backslide.
You need to keep pushing and staying on course in your salvation.
If you are not saved, this is an opportunity to give your life to Christ. If you have backslidden, it is time to return to the Lord. Pick up your life and get back to God. How long will you keep postponing your salvation?
I also want to take this opportunity to speak to someone specifically who has abandoned the calling of God. God is calling you back to the pulpit. You have taken that path because of frustrations and disappointments. However, God's hand is still upon you and He has not abandoned you because of your experiences. Yes, many people have let you down but that is no good reason for you to abandon your calling. God wants you back. The latter part of your ministry shall be stronger and greater than the former.
Remember ye, not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18
Prayer
Father God, I thank you for your love. I surrender myself to you and I ask you Lord to forgive me. Lord, I pray that you will restore my life in Jesus' Name.
Amen and Amen.
We do not own rights.
