“ASK
YOURSELF”
This is what we ought
to be asking ourselves: Am I saved; from where comes my salvation. Is the
source trustworthy? Who authenticates your salvation? For it is on record that…
“And if any one does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to
Christ” (ROMANS 8vs9b). Is your name written in the Lamb’s book of life? Can
you say emphatically that when you die now, your soul goes to a peaceful place
of rest or the place of torment as the rich man once did (LUKE 16vs23).
The Islamists believed
that to any man; two angels’ are given. One at his right, the other at his left
hands respectively. The one at his right records the good deeds he has done
while the one at his left records his wrongs. And at the end, they are weighed
in a balance. The one that out-weighs the other becomes the reward of the
person. What a veil?
There are also most
individuals who claim that “it is man’s
duty to save himself” what a misconception. For the scripture rightly state
(ACTS 4vs12); salvation is not found in no-one else, for there is no other name
under heaven given to men by which we must be saved- it is in only the name of
‘JESUS CHRIST’ (PHILLIPIANS 2vs9-10).
So it is in Jesus
Christ name, that one can obtain meaningful salvation. Jesus Christ is the only
best and all time accurate rewarder of peoples’ deeds.
Now that you know that
divine and authentic salvation does not come from no other; other than Christ
Jesus. I beseech you to accept Him who gives the best salvation the world has
ever witnessed. How? That if you confess with your
mouth, “JESUS IS LORD”, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the
dead, you will be saved. For with the your heart that you believe and are
justified and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved (ROMANS
10vs9-10). So you have to do it yourself for it is a personal decision to make
(ROMANS 5vs17); oh! how simple and
effective and efficient it is-just go ahead do, and you be glad you did.
CONCLUSION
Living the good-life is
the earnest desire of every individual whether great or small. And this is to come from the
one and only savior of the world- JESUS CHRIST. He loves you and has not come
for you to die and perish; rather through Him you would be saved (JOHN
3vs16-17).
REFLECTION
Examine carefully the
source of your salvation. And ensure that you question positively what you
believe in. For it is by what you do that you would render your personal
account to Him that created you. God bless you and keep you in Him as you make
the right decision now. Amen.
