“If, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.” Philippians 3:11
The gift of salvation is a journey with Jesus to a new destination.
If you make a decision for Jesus, He promises you can live with Him forever but what does the road ahead look like.
Jan and I have experienced the loss of every important material thing in our life and have suffered deep hurt from those who question our faith. We have also been verbally attacked through religion. This has not been an easy journey.
Salvation is dying to self and living for Jesus. This is very difficult and at times painful. We have to let go and give up our independence and control.
The inner nature of a believer is not in accord with Jesus. We all have huge egos and want a prosperous life. And, we cannot think or act like Jesus. At times, we are miles apart from the divine presence.
The Bible instructs believers to work out their salvation with fear and trembling. This doesn’t make sense until you meet the Living Christ and experience His greatness and glory.
The mere mortal will fall on his knees in the presence of Jesus and desperately attempt to escape from His trembling fear. The Israelites would not get close to God when He was on Mount Sinai. They were terrified of Him.
When I met Jesus many years ago it was the most terrifying experience in my life. After the encounter I knew Jesus could destroy an enemy nation in a split second. Nothing is impossible for Him!
Salvation is filled with troubles and different seasons with God. There can be abundance and deprivation.
The goal is to walk in oneness with Jesus by faith anchored to the Holy Spirit.
The most important priority is to seek the perfect will of God for your life and trust Him for His powerful promises!
