Everybody wants salvation because nobody wants to go to hell, but there is a condition to
salvation and that condition is that we must follow Jesus. If you call on Jesus, He will
save you, but then you must FOLLOW Him and OBEY Him. Most people are not willing to follow
Jesus. They just want to be saved, they don't want Jesus.
Jesus said:”Whoever WISHES to come after Me must deny Himself, pick up his cross daily
and follow Me.” Jesus gives His Holy Spirit in those who obey Him, who are baptized in
water and then they LISTEN to His Spirit, they have interaction with the Spirit of God
that He puts IN THEM and they must OBEY His Spirit.
That is how we follow Jesus, by SUBMITTING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT that He places in us, and
we don't do what we want to do but we FOLLOW HIM and DO as He guides us. Not many people
will be saved because people are not willing to PRESS ON IN and FOLLOW Jesus. They asked
whether those who are being saved are few and He said that many will try hard to find
the narrow door and enter the kingdom of heaven but very few will be able. (Luke 13:23)
Very few are willing to follow Jesus. They want to have salvation AND have their own
lives. You cannot have salvation without Jesus, you MUST OBEY Him, you MUST repent of sin,
you MUST be baptized in water and you MUST be baptized in the Holy Spirit and then you
MUST follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. You MUST obey Jesus. You cannot do what you
please. Just reading your Bible and going to church and being religious cannot save
you. You must be in that relationship with Jesus where you LISTEN to His Holy Spirit.
If you have not received the Spirit of God you CANNOT INTERACT WITH JESUS. You cannot
be guided by the Holy Spirit if you have not received the Holy Spirit, and if you have
received the Holy Spirit you have to keep on seeking Him, WAITING on Him, LISTENING,
and following UNTIL the very very end of your life.
If Jesus IS NOT your life, then you don't have eternal life. You cannot have salvation
without Jesus. Are you truly born again of the Spirit of God? Are you being led by the
Spirit of God and are you following Jesus? If not, then you don't have eternal life.
You must have Jesus to have eternal life. You must follow Him until the very, very end.
If Jesus IS NOT your life, you don't have eternal life.
May Jesus bless you.
