I remember as a child I was taught that salvation is very easy.
I was taught the ABC's, I don't know how many of you out there were
taught this. But I rember in Sunday school being taught
that, Salvation is as easy as ABC.
A - admit that you are a sinner. B - believe in your heart that Jesus died
for your sins. C - confess with your mouth that He is your
Lord and Savior. And boom, presto, magic... You are saved.
That is a lie from the pit of hell. Looking back I see why I believed that I could
do whatever I want, Live however I want and as long as I believed
in Jesus, As long as I believed His blood saved me I
would be fine, I'd be ok... I was never taught the truth.
The truth is that salvation is not as easy as ABC.
Salvation, eternal life, is for those who have faith in Jesus Christ.
Yes, we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
But, if you have that life saving grace, if you truly have faith in Jesus,
You will obey His words and you will live a life,
Of holiness, righteousness, and obedience to Jesus Christ.
You will be led by the Spirit of God, Because you will be filled with His Holy Spirit.
Because all of those who truly believe in Jesus,
And truly trust in Him will be filled with the Holy Spirit.
My friends, Jesus said Himself, "Why do you call Me Lord Lord and not do what
I say?" When He was asked how hard it would be to
get into Heaven, He said, few will find Heaven. He said,
Straight is the gate and narrow is the way, That leads to eternal life and few there will
be that find it. My friends, few, very few will make it into
the Kingdom of Heaven. Because most are not willing to lay down their
life, Most are not willing to be obedient to Jesus,
They are doing their own thing. My friends, salvation is not as easy as ABC.
But it is available to YOU, but YOU must deny yourSELF,
YOU must pick up your cross daily, everyday, and follow Jesus.
You must drop doing things your way. You must drop living your life the way you
want to live. You must surrender everything to Jesus.
You must obey Him until the very end. It's not about YOU, it's not about me...
It's not about our desires, our lusts... It's not about our pride or our ego or anything
about us. It's all about JESUS.
Everything begins with JESUS. Everything ends with JESUS.
It's all about obedience to Him. That's what repentance is;
It's about proving that you believe by living a life of obedience to Him.
Are you living in obedience to Jesus Christ? Have you surrendered your life to Him,
Or are you still stuck on your ABC's? May Jesus bless you.
