Christmas is special. It’s a time to remember what Jesus our Savior has done for us. Refocus, recalibrate, take stock. This year make merry! Celebrate with a truly Gospel-centric Christmas. He is the reason for the season.
References about Salvation
God makes it very clear — exactly what He expects of us in order to “get saved”. His salvation requires followance. Jesus said “Follow Me”.
Don’t be a sorry loser – one of The 94%er Losers
The most likely scenario for anyone who went to Christ, is: you were never saved, never forgiven in the first place. You most likely said a simple prayer of “forgive me Jesus”, and then went off blithefully unawares. THAT does not save anyone. But He can.

The true version

Accepting all that Jesus Christ is and does
Are you one of those that says one thing and does another? Have you thought about that lately? Jesus said “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself….” He has specific parameters for salvation. Nothing less is acceptable to Jesus.

Posing as Christian
There are posers, fakers, false Christians – in all churches, I surmise — since it appears that maybe only 6% of churchgoers have a biblical worldview. Are you posing as a Christian?
What you think and practice as compared with what Jesus thinks
The way you think (as in your worldview, your political leaning, your personal outlook on things) shows your agreement or disagreement with Jesus, or your rejection of what Jesus taught. If you reject His teaching, then, does that mean you reject Jesus Himself?

What happens when you do not know what the Bible says on a matter?

When Christians disappear and you wonder why
One day soon, Christians will suddenly disappear off the face of planet earth. What will that mean for you? This is happening soon, so let’s talk about what to do.
The Godman Jesus Said “Follow Me”
We can never be saved by being sinless. Thank God! None would ever get saved then. But Jesus said, “Follow Me.” THAT is a choice. No matter how good or poorly we follow… He still forgives and saves the repentant sinner. So, what does it mean to “follow”?
Welcome Home To Hell
Sin always says a good thing. It talks a good talk. It attracts us to go that way. Sin promises heaven. But the road it leads down is the highway to hell. Are you on the road to hell, or have you turned your life around – and chosen Jesus?
Liking Jesus
Do you see the difference between “liking” and “following”? Many like Jesus – but don’t go as far as to truly follow Him. Where are you at with this?
There is a broad road that says Heaven but goes to Hell
Where’s the real road to heaven? There is a broad way that seems right. But what it seems to be is not what it really is. It “is a broad road that says heaven, but goes to hell.” Sin always says a good thing. It talks a good talk. It attracts us to go that way. Sin promises heaven. But the road it leads down is the highway to hell. Are you on the road to hell, or have you turned your life around – and chosen Jesus?

Salvation in Christ is not a willy-nilly “free for all” gift bin. The Gospel of Christ is not a “come one, come all” offer by God. No. You must be born again.
Withholding Obedience
Have you received Jesus as your Savior… in the New Testament sense of the word? Or did you just say to Him something like, “Yea, well, okay Jesus”?
Following
Where’ you going? Are you truly “following” Christ? This is what it means to be “a follower” of the real Jesus Christ…
