No matter how devout – have you considered the possibility that Jesus has rejected you? I want you to get it right. And by “right”, I mean — get truly saved according to what Jesus and the Bible say. Want to reconsider things? Are you dealing with God in error, with an unrepentant heart? God deals in Truth. What are you thinking?
Sin is not the issue in salvation
Salvation in Christ is not essentially about sin. God does not save you because you throw away your sin, or because you are able to stop sinning. Salvation is about your yielding to Him in repentance. Big difference.
Are you filthy or beautified?
I for one do not want to arrive in God’s Courts with filthy rags on, stinking of sin – before the God of the Universe. How ’bout you? Do you wear filthy robes – or have you been beautified with rich robes of forgiveness? God is able to take away all your past sinfulness — and place you in good standing with Him. No matter how grave your sin, no matter how long you sinned, no matter. No problem. He is able.
The well-guarded soul
The well-guarded soul will keep you following Jesus. What can you do to guard your soul?
Distracting Meaningless Things
Turn my eyes away from vanity [all those worldly, meaningless things that distract —let Your priorities be mine], And restore me [with renewed energy] in Your ways. – Psalm 119:37
