Matthew 7:22-23

If we have truly given our life to Christ, we cannot lose our salvation. And the proof of our conversion is an increased passion, and an ongoing conviction to obey Christ, and His Word.

When we receive Christ, there is a divine work going on within us. Our minds are healed and renewed. This transformation, then, comes out of us, so that others can see the change in us from having been with Christ.

The choice is ours whether or not to accept God’s Gospel Message. We can stay lost in a world that is condemned already, or receive Christ, who is the only Way towards eternal life in heaven.

We are not to seek to re-invent the Gospel to meet our feelings. Instead, we are to present our lives to Jesus Christ in honest and humble submission to Him, regardless of what we feel.

The first step towards salvation is to get alone with ourselves, and be quiet before God. Only then can deep, personal stirrings of the Holy Spirit awaken our need for a Savior.

The pure Gospel of God is often heard, but not received.  But, it is only by the revealing power of the Gospel that salvation is possible. And, like a mirror, our lives are to reflect God’s message to the world.
