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.
Specific salvation parameters Jesus absolutely requires
Are you aware of what-all is actually required to truly “accept Christ”? Believing “in the name…” means accepting “all that Jesus Christ is and does”. Have you sincerely repented and truthfully “believed” in Jesus? Are you honestly following Jesus?
Specific salvation parameters to get saved
Salvation does not require being smart, nor knowing it all, nor getting it all right. The thief on the cross was saved on the spot – while hanging there dying. But if we examine what the thief acknowledged… he got it right, and Jesus saved him on the spot. But others went away from Him without salvation. So what’s with that? What does Jesus require?
What was it like – your confession to Jesus?
According to Scripture: Our confession makes our eternity. It decides our ultimate fate: Heaven or Hell. By it, we either land in Heaven when we die, or we land at Jesus’ feet for Judgement Day. What’s it going to be for you?
What following Christ is NOT
To say “I’m following Christ” – that’s easy to say. But, in the vernacular, “You is or you ain’t!” What is your practice? The Bible explains what is “following Christ”… and what is NOT.
What is your heart like?
What is a hard, insensitive heart? Paul describes it here in Ephesians 4.
