Salvation

When I first received Christ into my heart, I thought that I was good to go. Up until recently, I have thought the same thing. Everyday, a new friend of mine has been asking me, are you sure that you are going to be in heaven with God? I took so much offense to this. To me, I thought that she was doubting me salvation. I was so confused, because I told her over and over again that Christ was my Savior. Today when I was doing my devotions, I came upon this question: "Some believers don't worry about their sin too much, because they know God will forgive them. What's wrong with their thinking?" I struggled with this question. Then, it came upon me. When we ask Christ into our hearts, He sort of gives us this nature. When we get this nature, its like you want to obey, but sometimes you dont. God wants us to walk a new walk when we become christians (Romans 6:4) He wants nothing more than for us to obey Him. God is serious when it comes to this. We don't just get an easy pass. So many people live thinking that God's grace is what is going to save them. Well yes, His grace will save you, but do you think God really is happy and pleased with you when you go out and deliberately sin? I think not! He is sad inside, but nonetheless, He still loves us! Here is one way that sort of shows us proof of our salvation!

Psalms 50:23
"Times up for playing fast and loose
with me.
I'm ready to pass sentence,
and there's no help in sight!
It's the praising life that honors me!
As soon as you set your foot on the Way,
I'll show you my salvation!"

I love that passage! As soon as we set foot on God's way, He will show us His salvation! Isn't that awesome! His way is His path...Once we start following God's path for our life, He will show us His salvation! My prayer is that everyone takes a good look at their life and begins to ask themselves "Am I certain that my eternity will be spent in heaven?"
