Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
What is salvation? Salvation comes to us by grace, the grace of God.
Salvation is a free gift to sinners received through faith alone from God. Justification is just as if we never sinned. Reborn, saved.
Salvation is not just about going to heaven. It is about knowing and enjoying God now and partnering with God to reconcile the world back to him. This is where sanctification comes in. We are to spread the news.
BUT, do we need sanctification? Is it essential to our salvation? NO!
This comes after we accept Jesus as our savior.
Our final destination is glorification after accepting Jesus Christ as our personal savior. Will it come immediately? Maybe, maybe not! For the thief on the cross he was justified and then glorified and with Jesus in heaven.
However, we, the living do have time for sanctification as we do what God has commanded us to do. To go into the whole world and share the word of salvation. Do we all have to be missionaries?
YES! B U T, that does not mean going to another state or country. My mission field and yours is all around us. Ask people if they know Jesus Christ as their personal savior.
If you are not certain how to ask, then use an opener such as giving a cross, a trac, mention the shirt they are wearing, anything that can open the communication with another soul.
Acts 16: 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
Just remember, discipleship is the response to salvation.
Thank you for reading today. May God bless you and your household. Love y'all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
