1 Corinthians 1:9
"God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."
NKJV
Life Lesson
Jesus Is Coming Soon.
There are a lot of people who want to tell you about how to be a Christian. Bookstores are replete with how-to books, iTunes is full of podcasts and television is brimming with programs. It's enough to make one think that being a Christian is something really complicated. Friend, don't be distracted by instructions and manuals. Put away the books and open your Bible. Close your eyes, and talk to God. Open your ears to God and not to your iPod. Allow Him to lead your heart. Christianity is not about rituals or traditions. It's about Jesus. Don't let the world take the place of Jesus in your life, and if you do, take comfort because He remains faithful. He starts the good work in you, and He completes it. Not you, Him.
Philippians 1:6 "And I am sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in his grace until his task within you is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns." TLB
You cannot be secure in yourself. If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, your salvation is a gift. It's a gift God places in you that produces works demonstrating whose child you are. You had nothing to do with it, but Jesus...He had everything to do with it. You are secure in Christ and that's important because Jesus is soon coming. Live for God. Do all you can to know Him and follow Him, then trust Him with everything.
