| have you done what God has commanded us? such as to go out and make disciples? make it part of normal everyday conversation. i know it could be hard to get over those jitters you get at first but just belt it out. tell everybody. you'll be amazed how God uses you. why be selfish of something that allows you eternal life in Heaven? what use are we if we don't spread the news of Jesus? |

| SalvationAlright redo...... so I thought I was saved. I put myself under that classification because as I started going back to church about 4 years ago I believed in Jesus dying on the cross for our sins and rising from the dead 3 days later and so forth. I thought I was alright with this process. But then like starting a little over a year ago I could feel my heart numb. I felt iffy and bleh in some areas and moments. I would feel skeptical and shaky every time the pastor or the speaker said something about getting saved and having an invitation. I kept asking God to show me what it was I needed to do because I had no clue what was going on.... I thought I was sinking into a hole and I had no clue what was going on or what I was doing that was causing it. It was really scarey at times and I even doubted my salvation. FINALLY on Sunday July 2nd Brother Mike preached a little on that subject. He has always said that salvation is a MOMENT not a PROCESS. I never really believed that and I was like eh I'm still saved. But I realized that Sunday what Brother Mike has been saying was true. I realized it's not a process and that I haven't actually invited Christ into my heart. I mean I know a lot of stuff of the Bible and I know knowledge alone doesn't get you anywhere but I still thought I was saved and I believed I was a sinner BUT I never invited Christ into my heart. I had skipped a step. I had even been baptized before. Turns out I had no salvation to actually have doubt in. So July 2nd I asked Jesus into my heart and confessed I'm a sinner. July 2nd I was saved by the grace of God. Grace is getting what we don't deserve but out of love. That's God's wonderful grace. Now I'm starting over.....
I'm getting baptized this Sunday July 16th at Veribest Baptist Church. Anyone's welcome to come!!!!! Sunday school @ 9:15; Service @ 10:30
I'm going to Heaven! |
